by Stephen Graham Jones, Davide Gianfelice (Artist), Joana LaFuente (Colorist)

The Indigenous chrononauts’ plot to sabotage the mission to the so-called New World takes a strange turn. Reeling from disaster, the Niña’s crew places Tad under lock and key and Columbus develops a disturbing personal interest in his would-be assassin. As the admiral lets down his guard to decide if this prisoner is a godsend or Satan himself, Tad moves to make the most of the situation. But as his influence on the past intensifies, his wife and friends in 2112 find themselves in the crosshairs of a new history.

So Tad is under suspicion due to sabotage. He's being held captive in the hull of the boat. Columbus has taken an interest in him and because Tad is a linguist, he's speaking their language (I think) because Columbus understands him. Tad leans on historical text and an important date to "prove" to Columbus that he's an asset to his voyage and not to be killed.
Meanwhile, Sosh and The Yellow Kid are also being held captive by other "earth-divers". A new character who is an elder and wears a wolf skin visits Emily.
My favorite issue so far and has a beautiful two page spread in the middle.

This needs to be a movie or a miniseries. Can't wait to see where it goes from here!

In this issue they’re expanding the story more, revisiting old characters, and reveal a little more about characters introduced in the last issue. This shows all the characters in their attempts at survival in an apocalypse and what righting the collision course for destruction looks like to them. There was some ominous reveals, and foreshadowing teasing some of the chaos that may be to come. Can’t wait to see how this story unfolds!

Oh dang! Things are escalating quickly! And now we wait for volume 4 😑

[Kyle Burnett · Rating 3 out of 5]

Idk, I think I need to rate this as a collective when it’s all out. Reading issue to issue is not a great experience with this book. The story is too… big to have to wait a month for a 36 page issue. Idk, this started out strong, but I’m getting frustrated having to wait because the story is going all over the place.

Humanity has given up hope, except for a group of outcast Indigenous survivors who have discovered a time travel portal in a cave in the middle of the desert and figured out where the world took a sharp turn for the worst: America. The only solution is to kill the man who started it all: Christopher Columbus.

This wild journey continues in the third issue, and we get to see a few other glimpses into what is going on and some cause/effect stuff. I thought I would have more answers in this issue or that it would not give me MORE questions, at least, but... that ending?! WHAT?! Issue 4 ASAP, please!

It may not be the most articulate reaction, but my response to the EARTHDIVERS graphic novel series is....... WOW!!!

The storyline is absolutely ingenious and thought provoking and the illustrations are pure magic.

Issue 3

Was a bit confused at the beginning as there was one that was there and here but late at both.

[Alicia Birdie and the books · Rating 5 out of 5]

Each volume that I read the intensity gets higher and higher I can't wait to read the next volume.

Bonkers weird.

[Andy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Some wild panels here that leverage resonances between verbal and visual registers!

[Garth · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yet another great issue. With a head scratcher of an ending.

#3 – Yellow Woman – “I think if you try to mess with the timelines too much, it tries even harder to .. kill you.”

[James · Rating 2 out of 5]

The character management is not enough for me. I spent more time being confused on this one.

[Zack · Rating 3 out of 5]

Starting to get more interested and more complicated. Probably should have waited for the trade paperback, but oh well.
