This was so good. I love the world building and characters. Illustrations are amazing. Some parts are bit confusing but i will definitely continue the series.
Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in return for my honest review.

Comic book time!Â
I’ll start with the artwork. It’s stunning. The lettering, colours, little word bubbles with alien words can compete with the best in the genre. Just check the images of the Reaper on her bike or this wicked alien and her tentacled sidekick. A joy to watch.Â
Straightforward plot doesn’t surprise but remains enjoyable throughout. Likeable characters move through a strange world divided into sectors ruled by malevolent aliens. I especially liked the Reaper - a true badass female character with her own reasons and motivations.
The book finishes with a cliffhanger, but Volume 2 should be out soon, right?
An enjoyable brain candy with stunning artwork.

This review is a lot harder to write than I had anticipated. It's not that the book was bad or poorly written by any means, I actually enjoyed the story line for the most part.
Let's do it this way,
Here's what I liked:
-The artwork was absolutely gorgeous. The colors, the line work, everything.
-The world building was really well done.
-The characters were very unique.
What I didn't like:
-There was so much text going on sometimes, it was actually distracting.
-It didn't flow. And that was a huge turn off for me when it comes to graphic novels. That's probably the main reason that I didn't give this more stars.
I did enjoy reading this and would love to check it out when it's published.

What can I say, I love me some aliens.
The art style was definitely the highlight of this comic. The colors? Amazing. The backgrounds? Amazing. The way the characters are drawn? Amazing! Nick Robles did Thatâ„¢. Speaking of the characters, the diversity in this story was spectacular and very refreshing. The story was full of suspense and adventure and it kept me at the edge of my seat which is always a plus.
The only complaint I have is that the speech bubbles at times were kind of confusing to follow and they felt too much. Other than that, it was a pretty fun read and if you're interested give these aliens a chance.

What was looking like a promising start just really soon fell into the same action/not much story story with a badass and funny heroes. Didn't like it!

This seems to be a decent start to a series. The overall story arc seems interesting and I’m curious to how it unfolds. This is the story of Ben Marsden, a bounty hunter who receives an offer he cannot refuse. Raised by his guardian who is now very ill, he needs the money to treat her and save their community. Ben has a technie backup. The new assignment comes from secret government agency and he is sent to retrieve a fugitive.
I appreciate how difficult it is to tell a nuanced story with few words and art. This struggle is clear as flashbacks are used to provide the backstory. Unfortunately the flashbacks tended to break the flow and create some confusion. With time it became easier to distinguish flashbacks as stream of consciousness. The only other issue was that the transition from issue to issue requires attention to detail and I found it seemed to skip vital steps. Despite these flaws I am invested in this tale.
I enjoyed the art style. The vivid colors and its use to distinguish settings was excellent. There were a few scenes that were overpowered by the text but generally a good blend.
If interested in action hero with heart and aliens, you can try this recent release. Few swear words, some violence but no nudity.
Thank you NetGalley for a digital copy. My opinion is honest and not influenced by being offered a copy for review.
