Far Sector is a murder mystery set in an alien civilization, with just a dash of super heroics to keep it exciting. Lantern Sojourner Mullein is tasked with solving a society's first murder in 500 years. Along the way she has to deal with politics, police, oh yeah, and the fact that everyone in this society has their emotions suppressed from birth. The story takes some twist and turns and Lantern Mullein (Jo to her friends) picks up allies and enemies along the way.
I'd say my only complaint is that I felt the story wrapped up very quickly -- probably due to the nature of having been published across 12 issues of a comic. I think it would have benefitted from a double-sized final issue so the resolution wouldn't feel so rushed.
This feels a little more "mature" than the super hero comics I read as a teen -- probably more of a PG-13 than a PG rating? There's violence, implied nudity and sexual situations, and plenty of cursing, plus some heavy subject matter with regards to policing and politics. It's not quite as graphic as Saga, more in line with Monstress, but less gory. Should be appropriate for emotionally mature teen readers but I'd hesitate to give it to a middle grade reader.
