From SIMON ROY (Prophet), Sideways Award-winning author DANIEL M. BENSEN (Junction), ARTYOM TRAKHANOV, JASON WORDIE (GOD COUNTRY), and HASSAN OTSMANE-ELHAOU (Red Sonja) comes a sci-fi adventure equal parts Conan the Barbarian, Mad Max, and The Expanse. Of all the tribes that dwell in the hot ruins of far-future North America, the Hudsoni reign supreme, but even they fear and obey the godlike Devas. When the Devas warn of an old-world demon in the conquered city of Shikka-Go, Hudsoni war chief First Knife decides to deal with the threat personally.
3.5 stars. This first issue was a set up to let us know the time frame and the world we will be dealing in. The year is 3100 and North America is in ruins as tribes fight for their territories. Issue starts off with a slave girl making a run for it. During the chase, she stumbles upon something remarkable, Maybe from an older time. Meanwhile we get introduced to another tribe who has learned of this discovery the slave girl made and have set themselves on a direct course to intercept. Interesting enough 1st issue that I want to read more.
Good color artwork,image freebie. Multiple tribes have settled in the great lakes region. They are fighting and enslaving each other. A strange device of the old days appears.
Simon Roy, in form and in the post apocalyptic narrative space that he is so familiar with. He is quickly becoming one of my favourite comic book creators.
