    The biggest problem with Rellik is that if it were told in regular linear style, it would only be notable for its unrelenting bleakness. Whodunit becomes when-is-it in a limited series that ends up as just another ydoolb ssem [bloody mess]. [16 Apr - 29 Apr 2018, p.13]

Only managed to get halfway through as I could not lose any more of my like to this. I don't mind bleak which this is. Its just a very thin story that that has been messed with due to the telling the story backwards and this gimmick does not work. Terrible.… Full Review »
