Mind the Gap, Volume 1: Intimate Strangers (Jim McCann, Rodin Esquejo - Illustrations and Sonia Oback - Colors)

Synopsis:
Elle Peterssen is young, wealthy, and beautiful - and there is a reason someone tried to kill her. Only, Elle doesn't remember any of this.
Mind the Gap, the new series by the Eisner Award-winning writer JIM McCANN (Return of the Dapper Men), is a mystery with a paranormal twist.
Elle, in a spirit form detached from her comatose body, must not only unravel the mystery of her attacker's identity and motive but her entire life as well.
Who can she trust, in both this word and in the gap she exists in that lies between life and death? Filled with twists and turns, Elle's life isn't the only one turned upside down by the attack on her life.
Deceit, secrets, and hidden agendas are everywhere in a story where everyone is a suspect, and no one is innocent.
Collects Mind the Gap #1-5.

Review:
I got this ebook from Netgalley in return of an honest review.
First of all, here's another amazing collection from Image Comics. Seriously, I have yet to read something from them that disappoints me.
Overall, the story was a bit confusing to me and I wish there had been more explanation on some things, but I expect the answers we want will be given in the next volumes... I just wanted a bit more of resolution on a few aspects that I think would have been important in this first volume, as a start for a series.
The art was probably my favourite part, as it felt so alive and vivid to me, bringing this story to a whole other level. The colors were extremely strong and vibrant, portraying really well the feel of the story.
The characters were so on point. We didn't know who we could trust, who is good and who is bad and I believe we are going to be extremely surprised in the end, as more and more of this mystery is revealed.
Another thing I need to give the authors credit for is the references. The subtle (and not so subtle) hints at pop culture, like songs, stories and, my favourite, Breakfast Club. I mean, a Breakfast Club reference is always welcome and makes everything better.
In the end, although I wasn't blown away by the entire book, I must admit that it hooked me from start to finish. It was so addictive and intense, like we were the ones in a coma with Elle. I will absolutely be reading the next volumes as soon as I can get my hands on them.
