It may not be the most articulate reaction, but my response to the EARTHDIVERS graphic novel series is....... WOW!!!

The storyline is absolutely ingenious and thought provoking and the illustrations are pure magic.

This arc was trickier to follow as it was almost completely visual. Since the MC didn’t speak the language, we had very little dialogue. Mostly people in furs, so was hard to follow the action at times. But an interesting idea! Looking at the Solutreans and maybe inoculating indigenous North Americans to European diseases.

Loved how this tied up this prehistoric arc. Sharks! More exploring why the Solutrean theory might not be wildly excepted, thanks to Tawny! Also loved how Tawny has entered the indigenous population's myths and our recent scientific discoveries (see White Sands, NM).

STRONG ENOUGH MEDICINE - "This is my body. This is my blood."
... well, I have no idea what is happening, but the “20,000BC” scenes are entertaining. I’m still oblivious to the story, but it’s fun to read. ***

Tawny’s only thought is survival. What does it matter to her if she messes with the timeline?
