Drifter Volume 1: Out of the Night by Ivan Brandon
3.0
This was received from Netgalley for an honest opinion
Either Image Comics provides most of the graphic novels on Netgalley or I'm just a religious follower of Image Comics and I don't even realize it.
I can't say much for this. I'm into Saga but not this one. The cover is immaculate. The artwork is pretty decent and the usual for the genre. The inking and coloring inside are very appealing to the eyes, especially the blues and reds.
The plot however, didn't interest me much. I had no idea what was happening in the beginning and then eventually I lost interest. It's your typical mysterious hero with little memory, or in this case, the storyteller takes forever to reveal things about the past in order to make the character mysterious and as if he forgot everything. There's conflicts and the main character is exploring this world he crashed into and he's just like "Whoah," as the friends he makes, that found him and nursed him, fight off some monsters and dudes. Then there's this guy who's doing some nefarious stuff. And honestly I skimmed through most of this and don't remember anything. Lots of sand, aliens. Borderlands stuff.
There were flavourful coloring and good looks. But the plot just didn't get me in the first 30 pages. So this was just a forgettable sci-fi volume. Maybe I should I pick it up again if I see it in a library because it looks like it might be a hit. Maybe, I will give it another try some other day.
