The fantasy elements of the story are strange and inventive: the San Peilgran Order is a secret society that stores information in the unused parts of certain people's brains, and can communicate with their hosts when television cables inserted in the nose. The art style is fairly simple but effective; the characters' faces are expressive and often the story moves along without dialogue. The depiction of the San Peligran Order's headquarters is of an odd futuristic hideout, complete with robots and flying DNA scanners and the comic medium works very well to convey the fantasy of the story. Overall this is an intriguing work that combines science fiction, questions of religious faith, and the difficulties of navigating high school in one exciting story that high school age teens will enjoy.
