I am been meaning to read these *forever.*
I love that there's so much background in this collection. Seeing where Alex choices came about with his family, leading to the Roci. Seeing how Holden's moral made for a thorny path in the military. Seeing Amos's past even more than his novella, and FINALLY my dreams were answered with getting to see how Naomi and Amos first met/worked into the relationship they are in now.

Very short visualization on the time when Holden's still serving the UN Navy and why he was discharged. Only for people who can't get enough of The Expanse and want to have everything canon.

Um ...
This did not translate well into a comic. Maybe in someone else's hands.
Incredibly mediocre and lifeless art with terribly cliched and generic dialogue.

I'm interested in seeing the rest of the series given that Holden was always my least favourite of the bunch. I like how they changed the medium to a comic, but the execution was... Okay, I guess. Pretty much how you'd expect the story from Holden's past to look, but I was expecting something a little more fleshed out than what we basically already know.

Para los adictos que estamos esperando la octava entrega de la saga este tebeo se aparece como una especie de metadona en nuestra adicción. No es lo mismo que los libros, me digo, pero algo tendrá. Pues no. No sirve como sustituto. Son cinco historias, una para cada personaje (Holden, Nagata, Kamal, Amos y el detective Miller), que pretenden dar un vistrazo sobre sus vidas antes de Ceres y el Rocinante. Pero la verdad es que aportan poco. La de Kamal, la de Miller, pueden ser interesantes. Las de Holden y Nagata y, sobre todo, la de Amos, son aburridas y no me dicen nada. En resumen, uyna lectura innecesaria, incluso para fans de la saga.

I’m definitely reading these out of order, but this was a good one. I should have started with this one; it may have made me like these books more. But you do not need to read them in order, thankfully.

These comic book tie-ins are always a little shaky, but this one is particularly rough. At least the previous series The Expanse: Origins was written by writers from the show, who obviously had a firm grasp on the characters. This new series feels way off. The characters are all wrong, the dialogue and exposition are extremely clunky, etc. Unless you're an Expanse completist, I'd probably avoid it entirely. One thing I did particularly like was the illustration style. It lends a unique visual element that I thought added something worthwhile to this otherwise half baked tie-in.
