Okay, I'm in. This is a very cool story, and there's some really dark shit going on. A few days ago I noted that this series appears around the same time as the Image revolution, one that used the trappings of darkness to make their products seem cool without having, really, much substance. Byrne is going the other direction here, offering us a series that, because he drew it, hearkens back to the Copper Age stories, with some drama and some darkness, but that, substantially, seems to have a very grim back story. The discovery by Jazz and Bethany of a cave full of skeletons gives us a taste of the two aesthetics coming together, but there's a twist when the weird alien that we assume is responsible for the skeletons starts speaking and recognized the women.
As I say, I'm in. Byrne obviously has this story plotted in his head, and it shows in the consistency of not only the art but also the story. The beats are arranged very well, giving just the right combinations of intrigue, action, and relaxation. I'm excited to see what happens tomorrow.
More to follow.
