An intriguing start to a new series which sees a group of young Indigenous people stuck in a post apocalyptic nearfuture seeking to fix the world by sending one of their own back in time to kill Columbus. This is only the first issue (only 36 pages) so we're just getting to know our characters and their motivations. The art style is strong and Stephen Graham Jones has created great tension by showing what is happening in the past while also having the future characters trying to determine if anything has been changed. I'm intrigued to see how this story progresses (especially considering what happens at the end of this issue).

IDW is putting out some compelling work. I recently finished the first two issues of Earthdivers, a new dystopian comic series by Stephen Graham Jones!
It follows an indigenous cast of apocalypse survivors who send one of their own back in time to stop Christopher Columbus.
I’m very intrigued and need to read issue three and four asap.
Shout out to artist Davide Gianfelice and colorist Joana LaFuente for matching SGJ's words with inspiring visuals that keep me turning the pages.

Damn. I should have waited until the full first volume released, like I usually do with graphic novels. This was just a tiny little taste of the story and I'm already hooked!
