EVE Online: Capsuleer Chronicles
Explore never-before-seen stories from the world-record breaking EVE Online game, featuring fictional accounts of real in-game space battles, deep personal stories, death, and being reborn--again and again and again!
A new threat has come to the New Eden star cluster, an ancient and ruthless civilization, demanding all factions either submit to conversion or die. Despite their differences in loyalties, four capsuleers battle tooth and nail to save each other and all of New Eden, hoping to buy just enough time for reinforcements to arrive.
This isn't just a book about epic space battles, exploding starships and an apocalyptic invasion. It's about the people who are brave enough to keep fighting when they are outgunned, who pick themselves up every time they get knocked down, and are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect everything they love.
Collecting all four digital comics into one hardcover collection for the first time, this is a great book for any fan of expansive galactic storytelling.
Written by Sam Maggs (The Fangirl's Guide to the Galaxy, Marvel Action: Captain Marvel) and Melissa Grey, penciled by Kieran McKeown (Crime Syndicate, DC Crimes of Passion), with inks by Dexter Vines and colors by Sebastian Cheng, this series is a thrilling addition to the EVE Online universe.

Let's be clear from the outstart - I have never played EVE Online, I'm one of those people looking on from the outside, reading articles online about what new insane thing EVE players have just done in their game.
This book was quite confusing. Took me a little while to understand the idea of capsuleers, floating around in what looks like amniotic fluid, in their sacklike ships?
Anyway, we get a story told from different perspectives, and it doesn't only start confusing, it stays it. The stakes remain unclear, and it quickly becomes hard to care about what is happening, in the present and in the flashbacks.

Death is a learning experience. Humans from various background fighting against an alien invader.

Like a lot of Dark Horse tie-in books, it requires you to have played the game to know at all what's going on. It's about the backstories of four capsuleers in this space battle they can't win. But I guess these capsuleers can also be cloned, so where's the danger? There's not a whole lot of story here. The art is solid though.

Okay I haven't played the game but comic was free on Kindle so I figured there's no pain in trying.
There's barely any story. But I'd probably read the continuation if it came out. But I am a sucker for "band of misfits goes on to save the day" trope.
Disclaimer: there are some positionings of half-naked female protagonist that made me feel icky.

Just bad overall. Crappy, skin-deep story, panels that are hard to follow what’s supposed to be happening, bad dialogue, discombobulating jumps from character pasts to present. It doesn’t even matter if you’ve played EVE (which I have…a lot), this just sucked.

sometimes all it takes to make something better is a page of text explaining the wider context of the story for non-fans who want to become fans.
