Rogue Planet

I loved the art. The concept is short and the story is well crafted. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Let’s see what happens next. The story is interesting and this world is full of mystery. You wonder what will happen to the crew next

I received a review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.Deep in the velvet night of space, an Alien sacrifices his son to their god. The planet is not part of a star system; it's drifting through the depths of space, a rogue planet.In a salvage vessel, the crew starts waking from hypersleep. A signal from the mountains of the rouge planet draws them in. Part of the unit set out to investigate the source. The vibe is similar to the film Prometheus. The team arrive at the source of the signal, a spaceship graveyard.At this point, I'd be asking why there are so many spaceships? Who moved them all the graveyard, most notably what happened to their crews? Swiftly followed by arming weapons then high tailing it out of there.This being a comic, the crew want to turn off the signal to stop others coming to get their salvage. One of them does start to question what's going on when they find an alien lifeform. Echoing the film Aliens, the crew get their arses kicked. The alien is massive; it looks similar in size to the world serpent depicted in Thor comics. Naturally, the crew's communications are down, and multiple team members are dead. It's here the story starts, worldbuilding complete.If you've seen and enjoyed the film Event Horizon, then you'll love this graphic novel. It's a horror, sci-fi, trippy tale. Curveballs abound throughout the story and just when you think you know whats going on something dramatic change. There's nothing truly unique, no fresh outlooks on the genre. More tried and tested concepts with constant twists and turns, so your interest level stays high.This is a very well laid out and planned plot, and an enjoyable read. There is clear, sharp artwork, well defined. Graphics are both intricate and yet simple. Throughout the Graphic novel, I found the text was easy to read. At no point did I feel there was too much writing, i.e. more book than comic, there is an excellent balance to the page layout.If you're a fan of sci-fi horror, then you should buy this straight away. I enjoyed reading Rogue planet and recommend it to everyone. If you're looking for a change from the mainstream superhero graphic novels, pick this up. It will remind you that there's more to comics, they're also a medium to tell a story.

I received an advanced copy of this and really enjoyed it.Rogue Planet is a wonderful horror sci-fi graphic novel about a space trip to a rogue planet gone wrong. The graphic design is absolutely beautiful, it's creepy and horrifying in the best way to really instil fear in the reader. The gore is a Lot but not over the top or too graphic, just enough for good storytelling. The story reads very well, though only surface level delving into the fears of the characters and their manifestation.
