While humanity grapples to survive on Mars, the Ministry of Exploration pins mankind's last hope of resurgence on an astronaut who's scared of space. In this space odyssey brew of Total Recall and Interstellar, Hellener and his team of explorers hunt for a new home while civil war threatens to obliterate the last bastion of human life.
This is a very interesting and enjoyable book. I mean Mars is where humanity is trying to survive and resources are running out and the Ministry recruits astronauts to go in search of new inhabitable planets. Now mind you there are more intricacies than i’ve oversimplified here and you really have to read this to fully understand what is happening here and the subtlety that is within the story itself. All in all I have to say this surprised me a lot more than I was expecting it to, and definitely in a very good way. It has a very interesting premise and as for introductory issues this one really raises the bar for what we should come to expect out of them.
I am really enjoying the way that this is being told. The story & plot development that we see through how the sequence of events unfold as well how the reader learns information is presented exceptionally well. The character development that we see is rather extraordinary as well. How we see the dialogue, the character interaction and how we see the act and react to the situation and circumstances they encounter continues to really flesh them out. The pacing here is superb and as it takes us through the pages revealing the twists & turns along the way as we get a glimpse of these characters and this world its so easy to fall in love with this and want to see so much more.
I am really impressed with how we see this being structured and how the layer within the story emerge, continue-yes from elsewhere-, strengthen and evolve is magnificent. It is with these layers that the backstory comes to life and how that shapes the future of the story moving forward. How we see everything working together to create the story’s ebb & flow as well as how it moves the story forward is achieved extremely well.
I am digging the interiors here. The linework is exquisite and how we see the varying weights and techniques being utilised to create this level of quality detail work is stupendous. I mean to see Tiberius and all the lines in his face that could very easily go very wrong work out so incredibly right is utterly amazing to me. I’d like to see more backgrounds being utilised it’s the only thing that’s really missing in my eyes but we do manage to get some great depth perception, sense of scale and that overall sense of size and scope to the book. The utilisation of the page layouts and how we see the angles and perspective in the panels show a very talented eye for storytelling. The colour work is just simply beautiful to see. The various hues and tones within the colours being utilised to create the shading, highlights adds some wonderful depth and dimension to the work.
The concept here is sensational and I like the idea of it and even better is the fact that the past remains the past and at this stage a mystery. There is no real need to go explore it or learn how they ended up on Mars because that just takes away time for moving the story forward and the only past we need concern ourselves with is Hellz mother and why he quit the Academy anything else is a matter of semantics. Scout Comics continues to impress with the choices they make and how the quality of the storytelling is far superior to much else that we see out there. Now if only there was a way to shorten the time between issues one and two.
