Venus #1

Venus #1

by Rick Loverd, Huang Danlan (Artist)

What’s to Surviving against all odds. Adventures on the frontier. Lying on the cusp of discovering something new. Rick Loverd (Berserker) and artist Huang Danlan brought us a story that evokes the history of great adventurers from the pilgrims to the Western pioneers, from deep-sea explorers to polar trailblazers, all of whom searched for a new beginning. What It In 2150, Earth’s resources are depleted, and countries race to outer space to mine what they need from other planets. China has laid claim to Mars, so the U.S. and its allies have to make do with getting what it needs from the inhospitable world of Venus. But for a group of Americans making its way there, survival has become all too real. After their ship crash-lands on the planet, the scrappy crew is forced to do whatever it takes to navigate the harsh landscape in their journey to find the science base they were flying toward. In the vein of great adventure survival stories like Lost and The Martian, there’s only one reality on Venus—adapt or die.

Interesting enough to keep reading.

This was so interesting and the dialogue was great. Good pacing and now I want to read the rest.

I keep feeling elements of The Martian here. I know that's not entirely fair to this comic. It's different in that this is a story of a stranded crew, though so much so far are just hierarchies of power being chipped at in conflict after conflict. That's realistic, but it doesn't draw me in.

Enjoyed the concept but I'm not a fan of the crew dudebros sabotaging each other bc they either want power or dont like the fact the captain is a woman. Really wanted to get into it but it didnt grab me so I won't be reading the rest of the series.

I'm not a fan of a non united earth traversing the stars to continue the cycle of human stupidity.
