3.0
For a comic picked up on a whim, this wasn’t all too bad! Interesting, high stakes premise of a colony heading to Venus with a lot of inter-planetary politics in the background.
”We adapt. Or we die.”
The characters are all badass in their unique ways, but we all know that when too many of them are in a room someone’s bound to get butthurt.
I felt like the constant rankling on each other’s nerves within the team, while it progressed the plot and did have some fun banter, also got really annoying after a while. The moments of downtime between conflicts was so few, it just felt like the hits never stopped coming.
I honestly would read a series just following Dr. Park’s life amid the chaos of this colony because he was (to me) the most comedic of the group and I actually really liked him. I feel like comedy is not often injected into these intense scifi setting when it could really play well together (or I’m just not looking in the right places)!
That isn’t to say I didn’t enjoy this limited series for what it is. For a four issue run, they crammed as much as they could in to make it worthwhile. If you’re interested I still highly recommend checking it out!
