A review by carroq
Beyonders Vol 1 by Paul Jenkins
3.0
Disclaimer: I received a free ecopy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I liked the conspiracy theories angle of the book. There is a lot of room for the creators to play with different theories down the line. It was interesting to see how they pulled some of them together in this volume. Jake, the young man that is the center of this story, is kind of a boring character to me. He grew on me by the end of this volume, but not enough to really care about his story. His flatulent dog seemed to have more personality at times.
I'm torn on the art. Some of it is great. I particularly liked how there were symbols strewn throughout the book and am curious what importance they might end up having. At other times, the art seemed incomplete or rushed. That might just be a stylistic choice that didn't pay off for me though. I found this to be a decent enough story, but it didn't catch my attention enough to want to continue the series.
