The Lost Fleet: Corsair by Andre Siregar, Jack Campbell
1.0
I was looking for a good Space Opera graphic novel. I’m still looking.
If the writing here is indicative of the novel series this is derived from, then I’m baffled by their appeal. This is hands down some of the worst dialogue I’ve ever encountered, and the characters are unbelievable stock stereotypes.
On top of that the heroes can do no wrong, effortlessly winning battle after battle. Taking over a battle cruiser? No problem. Learning unfamiliar systems in two hours? Piece of cake. Taking out numerous warships with battle-hardened crews with your understaffed cruiser that is comprised of two factions who are at each others’ throats? Easy peasy. Learning lessons about trust and honor along the way? Walk in the park. Do any of the good guys die? Nope. Not a one. Ridiculous.
For prisoners who have been detained for years, they’re all in remarkably good shape. Nice and fit with freshly pressed uniforms, stylish haircuts, perfect physiques... this is the worst kind of juvenile power fantasy, because it has no teeth and no stakes. It doesn’t even have anything interesting to say. Pointless waste of time.
