Reviewer Comments:
Back to good Farscape. Thank god.

I was less than impressed with one of the other Farscape titles that are being put out just now. However I’m pleased to see that this particular series is still on the right track. Rockne S. O’Bannon, Keith DeCandido’ writing is as good as it was in the first. Steady pacing, nice dialogue, good story and just an overall joy to read.

Tommy Patterson’s artwork is just such a breath of fresh air compared to the artwork on the other series. Dynamic shots, good visual storytelling, great character interaction and interesting backgrounds and sets.

Zac Atkinson and Marc Letzmann’s colors on this, in my opinion, are what let the book down. Even though they don’t necessarily ruin the book, I just didn’t enjoy them. They were just really boring for me. They were understated, but not in a good way. I didn’t hate them, they just didn’t wow me.

Overall I really like this series so far and am kind of excited to see where it goes.
