Until I read his review I literally had no idea what was going on. the ambition itself. Spencer gets a point for that from me, if not from all of the Goodreads readers who absolutely HATED this comic as merely confusing and incoherent. It IS confusing, and it MAY be incoherent, I'm not yet sure. The frequent jumps between the different story lines made it difficult to really get into the story, and the story to tie them all together wasn't that strong. I didn't really care for the art (although I liked some better than others). Bodies is available on Netflix now.
