#ComicsReview: Star Wars Dark Droids No. 1 (2023) - Charles Soule, Luke Ross, Alex Sinclair
First, it comes for the metal…and then, it comes for everything else. This #StarWars spin-off is properly chilling, with Soule’s writing setting the foundation for what will almost certainly be a thoroughly horrifying miniseries.
The art is gorgeous and dramatic, eerie and unsettling. Even if you’re like me and not the biggest Star Wars fan in the world, I still recommend this one quite heartily. 4/5 stars.
#ComicsReview: The Sacrificers (2023) - Rick Remender, Max Fiumara
Tomorrow is a paradise, eternally peaceful and harmonious- thanks to five families who must sacrifice one of their children every year. This year, a son never loved by his family, yet expected to give everything, and an affluent, rebellious daughter determined to end the unnaturally protracted #utopia of the sun’s reign.
Lush and richly colored, this comic draws you in with its incredible composition and interesting characters. This one has minimal exposition, relying on the art and dialogue to convey the story instead. Set to be three issues, this one is definitely worth the read. Plus, holy heck new Rick Remender! 4/5 stars.
