Skin & Earth #4

About the author

Always pushing boundaries, alt-pop phenomenon Lights has never shied away from a challenge. Through her first three records, Lights built an incredibly passionate fanbase, selling out tours around the world, earning 100M in U.S. streams, 200K in U.S. album sales, and two JUNO Awards, not to mention the 2M + rabid fans who follow her every move online. Yet through this success, she felt like she had more important things to say through her music but just didn’t know how to get them out.

Then came En, short for Enaia, a fictional character from a fictional world created in Lights’ imagination that is not altogether different from herself. Throughout a year long process, she began secretly working on an unprecedented idea writing and drawing her own comic book based around this alter ego of sorts. And on top of that, just to make things more difficult – an album to coincide with the whole thing.

A lot of this was super cringe. I absolutely hate this new girl she’s hanging out with. She seems like a terrible influence and just has a bad vibe in general. Ending was a little interesting but I don’t see myself holding onto this series much longer...

Ugh this one is amazing!! It's the best one out of the four so far. I just love the relationship En has with the new girl. That really makes me excited to see what En is going to be brought into next. It was so shocking to see Priest there at the party. The ending is so good and leaves me saying "Oh, dammit! I want to know what happens!!" I can't wait for #5! Lights really puts her all into this series. From the album, to highlighting the cosplays, drawing out the wardrobe, even displaying the alternate covers on the last page. It's really appreciated and I look forward to seeing the sketches at the end, and reading her thoughts on the creation of Skin and Earth. Loved this one!!!

Hoopla highlighted this series as part of a teen reading event, so I decided to read some.
Lovely art and background environmental considerations. I listened to a few of the corresponding tracks, but the music isn't my kind of music. Not for me. But I can see the cross-arts appeal others would find. I have multiple issues in one digital volume, so I'll continue reading. This one ends promisingly.

Amazing

Another spectacular issue leaving me wanting more!!! Can the next issue be here already please. Also can we comment on how crazy it is that Priest is a pink?!? I felt it coming but didn't want it to be so...and why would he recognize Tsu and not En? Or did he recognize the both!!!!????

So far, my least favorite issue. The ending got pretty interesting, but there were some moments along the way that just sort of made me cringe, and that didn't seem like reasonable events based on what we've seen so far of the characters.

Best issue so far

4.5 out of 5 stars!

Easily my favorite issue so far! The mystery is really starting to build up and I love seeing En finally coming out of her shell! That cliffhanger has me SHOOKETH.

Amazing as always!

This issue just keeps me begging for more!
There was definitely stuff I did not expect to happen, but I don't want to spoil it!

WTF PRIEST

[Leah · Rating 5 out of 5]

By far the most bad ass of the comics up to this point. This feels honest, it feels like a turning point as it should.
