Man this should be so much better than it is. This needed the upcoming relaunch more than any book I have ever seen.

Of course!   Cheesy

I was actually saving the best for last.  Little did I know how true that is.  I loved these first four issues.  This could be Tom King's best work.  It feels so tragic and amazing how a book about "robots" pulls so much emotion. I find myself really caring about each of the members of the family.  It's tearing my heart out as the events unfold.  This can't end well and yet I desperately want it to.  Great book and my favorite Marvel book right now.

Yeppers!!! Just an amazing book. One that I hated to hear was only 12 issues, but then settled into the thought that any more could have had the potential to ruin this great series, so I will be happy to get my 12 and bow to this as one of comic's best efforts ever.

You are spot on about how you "care" about these characters ... ones you (or at least "I") have never seen prior, but man ... yeah.

and  ... shit ... I can't remember what issue it happened in, so I don't want to spoil anything, but have you seen ... hmmm ... the neighbor part yet?

Pretty pictures (as I like Pelletier's art), but the story and dialog left a lot to be desired. Wait for the inevitable fall and get it on sale if your still curious then, I say.
