This could be hard to connect with the past events which showed not only other layers of the clone's personality but also other supporting characters'. As a whole, I thought it might be confusing and lacking in information (also plot) for people who did not watch the series for there were only bits of parts which showed the present events. Additionally, there were variant covers one could drool over after issue #5. These issues feature each of the main clone Sarah, Helena, Alison, Cosima and Rachel. But the lack of focus and target audience made me find it something I can't really recommend. The art was well done, with all the characters being distinct and easy to follow, although the lack of interaction between the clones makes this a bit easier - for the most part, each issue focuses on one clone, with little if any interaction with any of the others. so I went from being bored to being slightly in the dark. But still, it really doesn't seem to be intended for people that already know the basics, while it also alludes to, or leaves unexplained, a number of things that only people who have watched the series would understand. The other stories at least add a little bit of new material. Two of the five stories feel like almost complete retreads of episodes or story arcs from the first season. It can't decide if it's intended for people who are already fans of Orphan Black, or if it's supposed to be bringing new fans into the fold. This book kind of has an identity disorder (which seems appropriate on some level).
