I loved Captain Harlock and loved the comics inspired by this character. It was like meeting an old friend and starting to travel with him again.
Highly recommended.

Quick impressions: The series captures the essence of the original. The story has a good plot and pacing. It combines suspense, mystery, and adventure. The art is in full color, and it's so well made you'll feel like you are watching the show again. However, if you have not seen the original, you can still enjoy this series.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC!
I really liked this graphic novel!! It's the first time I read something in this universe and with these characters, so for me it was a great entry point and refreshing story!
First off, the art is just beautiful! The colors and the details of every character are great and really make for a great form of storytelling. Second, the characters themselves, although we don't see a lot of everyone in this, you can feel that all of them has deep stories and strong connections to each other.
The story itself was cool! Yes, it's not entirely original, it has been done before in sci-fi and fantasy, but still, a great take on it and a great way to explore the concept of a dormant and inner treat. Really liked it! Good turns and takes.
The thing I didn't like and it kind of infuriated me was the lack of research of some topics. For example, when they went to Peru and visited the Nazca lines they said that they were made by the Incas. They weren't. They also put Mesoamerican images in the amazonian. Pyramids and symbols that you can find in the forest, yes, but in Mexico and Guatemala in Central America, NOT in Peru and Brazil. Just a little and quick google research can give you the answers to that kind of stuff. The worst thing is that they're not the only ones that makes those mistakes, a lot of storytellers do the same, and that's part of the reason I get so angry with that kind of stuff. It's not that hard, people. Just google-check your facts before you put it out there, please; you just keep spreading misinformation.
