The art is brilliant, but the story is nothing new. The attractive amnesiac blonde with superpowers who appears to have escaped from a science facility where she was groomed to do cool shit with her brain?...stop me if you've heard this one before.

The way the panels are set out and the art style is where Memento shines. It's flawlessly executed with the panels really serving to highlight moments of tension. With a mix of dark, light, pretty and violent, I would love to see Reynès art used to illustrate a more original and engrossing story. It was the saving grace of this otherwise run of the mill graphic novel.

The dialogue is fine, and the characters look like they could have some interesting development in future instalments. The first issue's short page count didn't really do a lot to get me immersed in their story yet though.

Overall, there's nothing new here. Check it out for the art, but if you want the story, just watch Stranger Things. Harmony is basically Eleven.
