Summary
An epic clash of reality and the paranormal, Caelum Sky is centralized around an unorthodox, backwards love story. It delves into the afterlife; starts with a empty-slate brained spirit trapped in the body of a dinosaur demon who is trying to develop her own soul while getting chased around by a pair of commercial exorcists.

The verdict
Beautifully written and illustrated by Andrea Radeck, Caelum Sky is an absolute delight to read and hold and just stare and drool at in general.
I love how the protagonist is fleshed out, how emotionally relate-able and solid. The writing however drags at some places and the general flow could have been slightly better. But it didn't fail to suck me in from the very first page. The artwork is so vibrant and has this dream-like feel to it that has you turning and admiring each page as you go and it's over before you know it. I've read it twice already. Ugh, cliffhangers!
I just wish it were longer. Can't wait for volume two!
