Outpost Zero #4

Outpost Zero #4 is the most chilling issue to date. Sean McKeever flexes his storytelling craft as the story snowballs to the final panel. McKeever keeps his thumb on the pulse of the issue as he builds tension from the frost and the political powers within Outpost Zero. The series continues to grow in complexity each issue, adding more layers to the plot as the series continues. Read Full Review

This is not just a coming of age story or a straight-up survival story. It feels like we're on the cusp of something even more. Read Full Review

This was the surprise hit of the year for me. Great writing, great characters, and a slow building menace. I'm on board for act 2!

The first two issues were fantastic. Now... it's not. It is a lot of talking heads, with moderately interesting dialogue, and adequate indie-style minimalist artwork. The issue ends with somewhat of a cliffhanger and then it says that this is the end of the first arc. Really? This was an arc? Was there a "middle" and "end" that I missed? This seemed like all "beginning." Next issue is in December? My LCS already racks this book in the dreaded "lower quantity" section. I am the first (perhaps only?) user to review this book and it has been out for a couple of days. I suspect the creators are waiting for the trade sales (of a slight 4 issues) to help gain traction for issue 5. I honestly wish you luck. Sadly, I'm out.
