  While the premise is intriguing, Venus Rises is a laborious read. It is difficult to connect the relevance of character dialogues and the artwork is inconsistent, making key characters difficult to recognize between panels. It is a series that doesnt immediately grab your attention in the first issue and fails to do so as the story progresses in the second. One of the few intriguing character arcs of the story is that of Hollister Pelt, an asset protection enforcer for the Shirokawa Corporation. The story introduces Pelt as a character who is working to make his voice heard to his superiors but fails to understand his subjection to forces beyond his control. Apart from setting up this interesting character arc, Venus Rises is a rehashing of many science fiction stories themed around class warfare, and it unfortunately lacks any depth of its own.
