It’s helpful, especially if you’re the type who likes to know the world well before you read the story, flip to the back right away to orient yourself.ĭon’t be surprised to see this series come to the screen sometime in the near future. This page was not present in volume 5, perhaps Lemire assumes we know the world by then, but it is at the end of 1-4. Each planet has a unique character, so I can see why the author saw the value in adding it. The world imagined by Lemire is complex physically and politically. Speaking of turning pages, I found (after I had read the first volume) this handy reference page, called: Atlas of the Core Planets of the the United Galactic Council.
The author, Lemire, also knows how to build tension and keep his audience gripped and turning pages. The graphic novel genre lends itself well to the world of a future civilization, something beyond our imagination and fantastical. What the author does not describe in words, we see on the page, beautifully drawn and colored by Nguyen (what a talent!). Also, the graphic novel format feels like a window into the future. and space and aliens of various types, shapes and forms, they all inhabit this place. Due to language and some graphic violence, I rate the novel overall PG-13. Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen team up to create a beautiful and gripping story.
