We Live #5

The Miranda Brothers have worked really hard throughout this five piece mini (which, turns out, isn't actually a mini) to rip our hearts out repeatedly. There's a twist, and another twist, and by the time this thing blows off, it's a completely different story, in a different genre. It's brilliant, in its way. I picked this one up for the first thing, and it was so good, I'm in for the next thing. Read Full Review

Everyone should read this series, and trust me, it's worth the heartache. Read Full Review

I've thoroughly enjoyed this series from the start with its design and style so I'm certainly not unhappy to learn that there will be more and that there are some potentially expansive plans in place for it. It's an interesting shared design that's coming up that's separate from how most are standard present-day pieces and that's going to be a big chunk of the appeal for me. This issue puts us through some solidly tense moments as the end of the world inches closer but the gaps that are introduced really have me hopeful that future works will explore it more so that it can be given the weight it needs considering the buildup here. Definitely going to be an interesting ride. Read Full Review

We Live Issue: 5 “The Era of Palladions” Publisher: Aftershock Comics @aftershockcomics Writer: Inaki Miranda @joiiart & Roy Miranda @roy_miranda_rotwang Artist: Inaki Miranda Colors: Eva De La Cruz @evadlcruz.colorist Letters: Dave Sharpe @davesharpemetal The extinction event has begun. Lighting storms rain down upon the Earth as giant insect-like creatures begin ravaging the population. Separated from her brother, Tala looks on in terror as Hototo and the other chosen are elevated high into the air. Their bracelets activate, emitting an almost blinding light, while many of the children are terribly mutated, others are engulfed in a strange cocoon. Suddenly, Hototo and others emerge as adults and lay waste to their attacker s, revealing the birth of a new era. Now begins the Era of the Palladions. Years later, Humbo is revealed to have survived the death cultists and approaches the city of Mother 9 in search of Hototo and Tala. That concludes the first arc of one of my breakout hits of the year. This book pleasantly surprised me from the get go. The artwork is absolutely gorgeous and the writing is smart, intelligent and unpredictable. I can confidently say that this is one of my favorite books. I can not express how excited I was to see Humbo at the end. This book makes me happy.
