Lightstep #1
| Writer | Milos Slavkovic |
| Artist | Milos Slavkovic |
| Cover Price | $3.99 |
January Lee is of royal descent, part of the ruling class that lives out their lives on accelerated, "Lightstepped" worlds where a single day is a lifetime on a normal planet. But her "holy ailment," which allows her to see the truth behind the Primogenitor's lies, marks her for banishment to the outer worlds.
This is the beginning of a fantastic tale of alien worlds, a star-spanning empire, and rogues and rebels seeking a weapon hidden in the transmission of a radio drama from Earth thousands of years ago.

AIPT - David Brooke
Nov 19, 2018Not since Alejandro Jodorowsky and Moebius have I been more interested in a science fiction story. Read 'Lightstep' for its deeper meaning, but also its exceptional beauty. Read Full Review

The Fandom Post - Richard Gutierrez
Nov 14, 2018Lightstepon the surface appears to carry a nauseating premise, allowing the concept of superiority to carry forward under the charade of a holy crusade for racial purity, making the story unsavory within a serene utopia. However as we become endeared with January and her rejection of those principles, the title undergoes a startling closing transformation, showing even those raised within this environment can see the truth, all hidden within sacrifices deemed necessary for the good of all. With subtle color choices and stunning illustrations used to bring out the beauty of both sides, this title appears destined for a deeper social consciousness, but for now, all we are left with is a narrative which is perverse in its lack of initial morality.

Nov 20, 2018Not without its flaws, LIGHTSTEP #1 looks as if it could bring some original ideas to the science fiction genre. I want to give it some time to grow, but the sprouts looks good so far. Read Full Review
