Edgeworld by Chuck Austen

I am really loving all these comics I'm finding recently. It's really fun diving into comics at random with no clue of the plot and just enjoying the artwork and action unfolding. This comic is an intriguing start to Edgeworld, and I'm curious to see where the series goes. Outer space shenanigans for the win!

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Ok, so we have a space western with a bit of a mystery going on and a smidge of horror, and it's not bad, but I didn't really connect with it either. All the technical stuff is done well - the retro-ish art is great, with lots of detail, and the coloring really sets the mood of the story; the story itself is good, a backwater planet filled with scum, villainy, and crime up the wazoo gets an infection of parasites that may have been intentional - but the execution just didn't pull me in. I don't need characters to be likeable, but I do need to care about the story, and I just... didn't. I did enjoy the conceit of the story being told through a spiritualist's visions, that was a neat trick that worked well for me. Overall, though, meh - I'm not not recommending this, but I'm not recommending it either.

Art and characters are good. Specifically the character design is very good with different aliens and tech gubbins.

At first it was difficult to follow but it was long enough to be gripping and there were quite a few layers to the narrative which gave the characters extra depth. Artwork was cool too!
