At least, that was the case until I picked up Titanium Rain. But nothing has really hooked me into the graphic novel genre as an adult. I'm not usually much of an graphic novel fan I tend to read some manga and a few American comic series (namely Star Wars Legacy and Star Wars: KOTOR). Were there additional volumes this might be ironed out later on, but as of now there are no other volumes and if you decide to take the plunge then do so with the understanding that there is no denouement. Furthermore, while I understand this is a graphic novel, I don't understand quite a few things related to the story and the timeline. It seems that they were more concerned with an attempt to convey some sort of political message and wasted the opportunity to create something wonderful. The creators built this incredible world, filled it with brilliant technology, then populated it with flimsy characters. By the end, when you should be invested in not only the story that is taking place but also the characters, you really don't care what happens to either.

Far too much time was spent focused on politics, which in turn meant no real character development. I don't want to give away too much, in case someone wants to figure things out for themselves, so I will try to explain without revealing everything. While the concept is great, and the artwork is great, I discovered that the story itself is definitely lacking.

I really wanted to like this, the concept sounded interesting and the artwork looked great from what I had seen online in various places.
