Cosmic Detective by Matt Kindt & Jeff Lemire is science fiction comic about a detective trying to figure out who killed a god and how it was done. This was really interesting, I think the art and the story came together to make one exciting comic.
Right away I noticed the really unique art, which was done by David Rubín, and I fell in love with the colors and the style. The story had it's common tropeslike the missing pregnant woman trope but I think the story was still interesting. I would read this again for a second time to see if I missed anything during my initial read, but I'm not sure if I'd read this a third time.
Overall, I really enjoyed this comic! I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a stand alone or if it's going to be a series, which is fine because I liked it for what it is. I'm giving this 4 out of 5 stars.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5 Stars
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the arc I received [NetGalley.com]

This review is for an advanced reader copy.
I loved the art - excellent and kind of classic in style with bright, bold colors that lend itself to the mystery and scifi story/setting. The paneling and composition are excellent throughout - body different in some pages and very unique!
I think the story overall could have taken longer, because it's VERY fast paced. There's no real time to rest because there's just so much happening visually, verbally, and mentally just all the time. It's definitely the kind of story that just drops you right into the thick of it and expects you to keep up with it, which, while not bad, did leave me struggling to figure out what was going on.
Regardless, I enjoyed myself. I might have to read it two or three times to fully digest it, but it's hands down entertaining at the very least. Especially so if you enjoy classic, more mystery/detective style comics and stories.
