While the illustrations are quite nice per se, I find that the stylistic choice of the artwork is way too detached from the scientifically detailed tones and the analytical, complex themes of the original story. The writing is equally way too superficial and sketchy, taking too many liberties regarding the characterization of characters, who end up becoming cliches of themselves, lacking any kind of narrative engine and human depth. I don't know exactly what I expected from this project, since the source material seems to me very difficult to adapt in an expressionist medium like comics because of its irreducible verbosity, but the result seems to me really pitiful from every point of view, a completely meaningless product.
