A white female rancher who speaks English and a Hispanic immigrant who speaks Spanish are abducted by an alien spaceship and must work together and get over their prejudices to escape. An interesting story with beautiful art.

Combination of English and Spanish: from the author notes, you should be able to get the gist of the story. Pretty slow start, sets up the rest of the series.

knowing Brian Vaughn, I guess that there would be a play on "illegal aliens" and I was not disappointed. holy crap. I love what this is setting up.

I probably would have enjoyed this way more if 1/3 of the story wasn't in Spanish and if it the layout was normal. Love the artwork though. I don't care enough to finish the series though.

Love the format. Art is appropriate and the character development feels true. Excited for where story will go.

eh... ich glaub nicht, dass das Issue One war, sondern eher so eine Leseprobe. Nichtsdestotrotz find ichs bisher sehr interessant. Das Querformat ist zwar ein wenig ungewohnt, aber hat nen schönen Effekt mit der Zeit. Plus ist der Zeichenstil halt irgendwie... keine Ahnung. Nicht ganz Saga-Stil, dafür sind die Farben zu muted und alles ist stilisierter, comicartiger. Aber ist wirklich schön gemacht. Ausserdem hörts mit nem Cliffhanger auf bei mir, was mich, als Marketingopfer, natürlich triggert.

Free Comic Book Day first issue of a new series. I didn't realize half of the dialogue would be in Spanish, but I was feeling pretty good about my Duolingo obsession as I managed to translate it for myself and get the gist of each conversation. I might pick this up when it is a trade to see how it plays out. This really only gives you the most basic setup for the story and then it ends with an epic WTF cliffhanger.

Got this at Free Comic Book Day and liked it a lot. My high school Spanish was enough to understand the Spanish dialog for the most part, and I used google translate for a few phrases. Note to other reviewers, it's pretty clear that you're meant to struggle with a language barrier in this story about border crossing... it's a feature not a bug.
