For a comic picked up on a whim, this wasn’t all too bad! Interesting, high stakes premise of a colony heading to Venus with a lot of inter-planetary politics in the background.
”We adapt. Or we die.”
The characters are all badass in their unique ways, but we all know that when too many of them are in a room someone’s bound to get butthurt.
I felt like the constant rankling on each other’s nerves within the team, while it progressed the plot and did have some fun banter, also got really annoying after a while. The moments of downtime between conflicts was so few, it just felt like the hits never stopped coming.
I honestly would read a series just following Dr. Park’s life amid the chaos of this colony because he was (to me) the most comedic of the group and I actually really liked him. I feel like comedy is not often injected into these intense scifi setting when it could really play well together (or I’m just not looking in the right places)!
That isn’t to say I didn’t enjoy this limited series for what it is. For a four issue run, they crammed as much as they could in to make it worthwhile. If you’re interested I still highly recommend checking it out!

Yes, it's short, but it's non-stop tension and advancement from the moment the craft is hurtling down to the ground of Venus after an explosion, and the crew and new captain struggle to survive.

It was a great into, but it was just that. As everything gets established it ends. As the series wasn't picked up for any additional installments I can't recommend it as something to get overly excited about. What is here is great, but it will leave you feeling empty due to the lack of a conclusion.

Dos cosas muy buenas: sé, por la reseña del astrónomo Phil Plait, que la ciencia en esta novela es sólida. La parte gráfica: ambientación, arte, es muy buena también. Las no buenas: todo es muy abrupto. Las acciones son precipitadas y pese a que no hay tiempo de profundizar en los personajes, igual hay acciones que se sienten fuera de éstos. El final es abrupto (en el caso de ser una novela autocontenida, como fue anunciada). Es una pena que los puntos débiles sean justamente los que llevan el peso narrativo, pues la historia es fascinante.

I really like the first two volumes and I'm bummed that this series didn't continue!

It got an extra half a star for decent artwork. The plot and characters really didn't work for me at all.

It's a real shame this series didn't get continued. It seems really similar to The Martian, but the additional twists keep the story compelling.
