In short: A graphic novel set in 1987, about a homeless kid who joins a high school for assassins.
So, not like any high school I ever went to, but in some ways just like every high school I went to (I did 3 high schools in 4 years, and no, I am not a military brat). No one has super powers, just good, old school graphic novel violence here, so each kill has weight and consequenses. I liked it, but it was really fast paced and for a third of the story, the main character is on acid, so it wasn't always easy to follow. Still, the characters are fairly distinct and the concept is interesting. I am not rushing out to buy the next volumn, but I would pick it up at the library.
