Pretty to look at, only decent writing

It's Steve Niles and Greg Ruth and while I love Ruth's art, Niles once again gives us a great concept with middle-of-the-road execution. This was a six issue mini series and I finished it in less than 50 minutes as Niles leans heavily on Ruth's art to tell the story. Not really a problem, just a tendency of Niles that has grown a little tiresome. Overall, this story of seven malformed (big head, wolfen, other...) children surprisingly born to a backwoods community fighting back after years of neglect and abuse is good, until you wonder what caused it and realize you will never get the answer. Beautiful artwork by Ruth though.
