Halogen #1

Halogen (single issues) #1

by Josh Tierney

WHY WE LOVE IT: We’ve published four books thus far in Josh Tierney’s Spera series because we simply love his characters and storytelling. Now, he teams up with fellow webcomic creators Afu Chan (Spera) and Giannis Milonogiannis (Old City Blues, Prophet) for a new creator-owned, sci-fi adventure.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: Having first collaborated on the Eisner Award-nominated Spera series, the creative team behind HaloGen is no stranger to kick-butt ladies, epic world-building, and sweeping adventures. This time they’re strapping on their sci-fi boots for a series perfect for fans of Prophet, Rocket Girl, and The Fifth Element.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT: There’s a rumor on Cityship Q that the gigantic body of a dead god was found floating in space. Rell, an agent woking for the HaloGen organization, is tasked with finding the location of the god and retrieving it by any means necessary. Using her ability to form hyper-realistic holograms, Rell is about to take on the first mission she might not be able to finish.

Art got me hooked, it's just the unique kind of style that gets me interested. Colours are gorgeous too. I've since finished the four part series and it definitely improves. I found the first issue quite confusing but it improves somewhat in subsequent issues.

First issue of a 4 issue mini-series. It was alright. The writing confused me and I'm not a huge fan of the art but I like the world so I'm going to stick with it and hope things become clearer.

Oh now this is good! It's very rare that I actually have to pay attention and read slowly in a comic. I really like the story, universe, and the setup here. Can't wait to find out more.
