Origins #3

Origins #3 delivers a quiet moment of retrospective. As both Chloe and David struggle to come to terms with what they are, they are reminded that they do not have the luxury of time to get it all settled between them. With the last pages of this issue, I feel pretty confident next month will not afford them any more time for contemplation. Read Full Review

Jakub Rebelka delivers some interesting and highly stylized visuals throughout the issue. There are some great emotional moments brought to life in the art and I continue to be interested in where the story goes next. Read Full Review

Origins still suffers from finding its own voice and distinguishing itself from many dystopian stories we've seen in the past while creating compelling characters, but this is definitely one of the best issues so far. Read Full Review

The colors muted a bit with this issue, but the story blossomed. The Big Reveal happened, and it was done with a calm that would make this issue a talker if it wasn't so interesting and, dare I say, fun. The stakes are laid out, and the last 3 issues look to be exciting. That said, there's a question of "Why push forward?" that this issue suggests. I'm interested in seeing if the creators decide to address it. The art is still good, perhaps not as eye-opening as the first issues but so much more visually appealing than the stock crap of so many other titles. Experimentation is good!

Origins Issue: 3 Publisher: Boom! Studios @boom_studios Created by: Arash Amel, Lee Krieger @ltkrieger , Joseph Oxford @josephoxford Writer: Clay McLeod Chapman @claymcleod Artist: Jakub Rebelka Colors: Patricio Delpeche @patodelpeche Letters: Jim Campbell @jimcampbell Badly injured from a fall, Chloe rushes to tend to David but finds his state more crucial than she had believed. Suddenly they find themselves discovered by a curious group of robots who bring them to their village. Once there, the now masterless robots find purpose again with a human master and tend to David’s wounds. Once healed, David returns the favor, upgrading the very AI he had a hand in creating nearly a millennium prior. David explains to Chloe, that wh ile he may be of the same DNA as the original David, life has created a different man, until suddenly their tranquility is interrupted at attack drones obliterate the robot society. This is definitely one of those series I plan on rereading in one sitting once all issues are released. The artwork throughout has been really well done. The cover art particularly has been great.
