Amazing characterization, a complete fictional world, psychologically satisfying, philosophically intriguing. Moore manages to treat both global and individual conflict quite well. Slightly uneven near the end, where it becomes less deep and more science-fiction-y. Otherwise, it would be a five star series. It deals with its complex subject matter quite competently. I have rated other graphic novels as five star that were not nearly as deeply satisfying, however they handled their admittedly much smaller task slightly better.

Science Fiction is not my genre, so I did not read this one by personal choice. It was assigned for a literature class which meant that as much as I did not want to finish the book, I had to. Overall, for not being my genre it was a better read than I had expected it to be. At times the story seemed confused as to the direction it was going, but I think that was intentional by Heinlein.
