The story itself is pretty solid.

Just like Silence of the Lambs or Se7en there's a race to catch the killer who is leaving his victims 'hollowed out': their innards removed, scoured with acid, and a ridiculous smile plastered on their face. There's also some big 'conspiracy corporation' type backstory that may or may not prove significant with the next installment. Some of Casey Bowker's writing is truly moving, like when a detective is describing the victims' smiles:

"...it's a smile like that moment you realize little Cindy-lue is gonna let you get past holding hands... ... and French kiss you in the back of your Dad's hatchback."

Some of Hollowed from a story perspective is kinda cliched, like the obligatory yelling Cop Boss. Bit characters spout out overly snarky retorts.

The sequentials could use a little help. I had to re-read panels several times to understand what's going on.

I think once this team gets future issues of this story under way the visuals will get tighter and show the action better, and in turn the writing will work closer to the visuals. The raw materials are certainly there. All it's going to take is a little more time.
