This is really pretty, but the story feels incoherent. Nothing ever quite draws it together.

Loved the art, especially the bright and vibrant colours, but I have no idea what happened here.

This is a quick read that doesn't really introduce anything new and groundbreaking to the sci-fi genre, or comic medium, but was an overall fun read. The characters are diverse, and feel authentic, and the artwork is very colorful.

I'm assuming you've read the description, so no synopsis. This is an engaging story, it kept me turning pages and wanting to know what was going on and what would happen next. The art is gorgeous, the landscapes are strange and otherworldly, and we get a decent sense of the characters if not an in-depth feel for them. That ending though! If there isn't more to come, that ending is bullshit. We got an idea of what was happening, what was going on beneath what we were told at the beginning, but we didn't get nearly enough, unless the point is for me to make up my own story about it. A great read and I absolutely recommend it, but be prepared to be annoyed by the very open ending.

I borrowed this book from Comixology Unlimited and read it tonight.

Earth receives an SOS from space with instructions on how to construct a teleport gate. A team of four is tasked with going through the gate and both following the path of gates to the end and finding out what happened to a pervious team that went through the gate. The title refers to the time it takes for the gates to fully power up after they are activated.

This is a chase story with some twists and turns. It was an enjoyable enough read and the art was pretty cool. The alien worlds were breathtaking. I don't know that the creators stuck the ending, but I enjoyed the journey.
