Reception
The comic series was well received by critics scoring an average rating of 8.3 for the entire series based on 35 critic reviews aggregated by Comic Book Roundup. Writing for Tor.com, Alex Brown felt that its commentary on race relations was its strongest element, although the additional topics touched on felt unfocused. Brown praised the creativity of the art making up the book, finding that the art, colors, and lettering all provided their own key contributions to the overall story.
