Ed Fortune of Starburst Magazine critiqued the comic book for leaning too heavily on dialogue saying that the "art-style does a lot of the heavy lifting ... it’s just a pity it’s buried under so many word balloons." The plot of the comic book follows a group of characters who leave a dying earth and attempt to defeat the "Nothing." See also
