The Orville Season 2.5: Launch Day by David A. Goodman

I’m all caught up on the Orville episodes and saw these comics. This had two two part stories. They were ok but it didn’t leave me excited for more of them, think I’ll just stick with the show. I hope they bring back a bit more humour in the rest of season 3.

I’d like this better if these stories had resolutions, but they do not. Other than that, they do feel like the TV show.

I could definitely see these two stories as two episodes of the television series, set between seasons 2 and 3. I preferred the writing in this volume compared to 1.5. The art, which was already good in 1.5, is less stiff and more subtle. Season 3 hasn't come out yet so we won't know for a while if some of the loose threads of this volume will be addressed there.

If you aren't already familiar with the television show, this probably isn't the best way to introduce the universe and characters of The Orville to you. I'd suggest you start with the show, and read the comics between seasons.

The Orville: Launch Day is very much a niche comic. It's perfect for those who enjoy the Orville TV show, as this comic is set in between the second season and the upcoming third season. It's also a good choice for fans of the episodic stories told in the classic Star Trek and Next Generation series. For everyone who doesn't fit into those two categories, I'd recommend browsing this issue before you commit to purchasing.
