To me, the artwork has very sparse backgrounds, especially for the outdoor scenes, which are few, to begin with. i find that very strange for a sci-Fi story. Most of the story is indoors, and when it takes place outside, the opportunity to show what "The frozen World looks like, and give it a mood, is not used. It gave me the feeling that I was at a 1970s machine sales or technology exhibition, rather than in the distant future and on another planet.
