Niobe: She Is Life #3 by Joshua Cozine, Sebastian A. Jones, Ashley A. Woods, Amandla Stenberg, Darrell May
5.0
Three issues into this series and I am hooked.
The art is beautiful and the color pallet is both bright and soft. It gives this comic an extremely "current" or "modern" feel. Each turn of the page is exciting because you never know when the next one will make you stop and stare.
Niobe is an outcast among this tribe of Elves, but she is not the only one. The half-orc stands trial for murder, but really, he is facing an age old prejudice. Niobe is called to act on his behalf, to seek justice and truth. She has a high moral code, and is incredibly capable. She can also sympathize with the half orc's position.
I was not expecting there to be a love triangle in this series, but hey, I got one. While I did not initially feel like this story needed any romance, in hindsight I think it makes sense. This is a coming of age story, and falling in love is part of that journey.
In this issue we also got some backstory and some quality time with Niobe's mother. The insights obtained here really helped the story to take shape.
This series has quickly become my most anticipated comic for each month. Perfect timing too, since Monstress will be on a short hiatus. I hope to get much more story in the coming issues, as these first three have eluded to an incredibly rich world with plenty of history.
