UPDATE - 3/20@1:16PM: Kevin J. Anderson was interviewed for the Canadian SPACE Channel's Inner Space program earlier this week and spoke for a couple of minutes about the graphic novel and his collaboration with Neil Peart. You can check out the video of Anderson's appearance here (thanks bucklemyshoe).

UPDATE - 3/19@4:44PM: Here's yet another 5/5 review - this one from Comic Bastards.

The use of sepia tones to indicate present time is a nice touch as well, what with the story being mostly told in flashbacks, and gives the whole thing an almost 'Wizard of Oz' feel to it. Everything is so beautifully sculpted that a world is created that manages to be both Victorian Steampunk and Sci-Fi Opera. ...
