Graphics always add better than a twenty percent value to a story as far as I'm concerned. They remove the story from a math book or English Literature text book into a mentally visual appreciation. Added to an excellent script and we move to an entertainment value sometimes better than the movies.
This story was tightly written. The pace was fast, really fast. I was in a marathon. The effect was probably exactly what the author intended. Along with the main character we didn't have time to stop and analyze the trajectory of where this plot was headed. Like biting down on the Trinidad Scorpion 'Butch T' variety pepper, 1,400,000 Scoville Units, realization comes to late to be saved.

Don't live life until it's worn out. Live it.
always,
