Edgeworld #3: Bird in the Hand

Edgeworld

by Chuck Austen, Pat Olliffe (Artist), Jodi Wynne (Letterer)

Facing a personal crisis and the ongoing effects of the military occupation of Pala, Chaka decides to leave the planet, taking Cheela with him. But tragedy strikes before their departure, driving a wedge between them, and putting Chaka on the wrong side of Killian's law. Edgeworld marks the surprise return to comics of Dreamworks television producer Chuck Austen, the controversial X-Men and Superman writer, partnering with his good friend, long-time Marvel/DC artist Patrick Olliffe. In animation, Chuck has produced such impressive shows as Dawn of the Croods, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, and Rocky and Bullwinkle for Dreamworks, and there isn't a character Patrick hasn't drawn for Marvel and DC, though he is most well-known for his work on Spider-Girl and Hawkman. Their shared creative vision brings to life a rich and complex world of characters and stories that marks Edgeworld out as a series not to be missed. Chuck and Patrick are joined on this expectation-busting journey by outstanding colorist Lee Loughridge, talented designer/letterer Jodi Wynne, with edits from Bis Stringer Horne.

Strange times, strange world.

Good color artwork. Prime and Comixology freebie. killian and his alien friends endure more pointless violence. This world is well built, and consistent.
