I love this comic a whole lot. I actually disagree with you, Shishio; I think the writing and the story is one of the reasons I like it so much. Spike basically created a whole city with a really unique culture. I remember reading somewhere in an article about it that the writing is so convincing, that people were trying to remember what Copy Shops were. Copy Shops are, in the story, like a place for publishing your own books - and I realized myself that I hadn't figured out that she had created them. I thought they were real, and I vaguely remembered hearing about them from somewhere.
Basically, I think that it is a very good marriage of visual and written storytelling. To me, that is what a really good comic should do; rely both on art and writing to make a point.
So check it outttt. But start from the beginning, it gets pretty confusing (lots of characters to keep track of).
