I still remember reading this as a webcomic years ago, even receiving it as a kind if newsletter in my inbox. It was the perfect web format too: one strip at a time, just a few panels, and still a tiny bit if story, with some sense of closure and/or a cliffhanger. Simply marvellous. And it was engaging, fun to three point that I would occasionally hold out on a few strips to get the thrill of a faster read, full of twists and turns, without the unnerving wait fire the next "fix". That's threw thrill I got out of reading this collection, though the formatting reduced the effect for me. Two strips are presented on each page, thus killing the single strip effect and limiting it to the page shift alone. I am not sure about it, but I also get the feeling the book was completed for the print edition and not online, as it reads more like a comic book and less like a collection of strips in the last third or so. The story of the amnesiac and possibly crazy doctor Syberg flows nicely through conspiracy theory, science fiction, spy story, even fairy tales and romance, with a nice swift pace and satisfying "rest stops" as the single stories conclude, all leading to the final good closure, as the doctor recovers his past to build his future on it. It says volume one here, but even if the ever busy authors can't find the time or the necessary audience to make a follow up, this collection is fairly stand-alone and can thoroughly be enjoyed on its own too.
