I read this trade paperback collection after binging the first season of the SyFy television series based on Mr. Morrison's comics. For a story that features a little blue unicorn with wings as an imaginary friend in the real world, the book is much more conservative than the television show. I'd recommend the book over the tv show. Neither is for children. I'm not sure who the tv show is written for.
I was disappointed in this, given the bona fides of the creative team involved. Violence and cynicism in the pursuit of telling a story that's nothing but violent and cynical doesn't strike me as being a story worth reading. Because it's Morrison I keep trying to think of some deeper meaning to imbue the story with, but I got nothing.
