Deep Roots #1

Deep Roots #1 lays out a bold vision, one that grows (excuse the plant pun) from both the tight muscularity of its script and the beauty of its artwork. Its a story of two worldsmans world and an ancient vegetative world beneathand its art depicts each, as well as the places they intersect, with a gorgeous abandon. This is a rare and wonderful debut that gets the basics of pacing, world-building, and cliff-hanging right, while also leaving the reader with a sense of a wondrous plan in place for its continuation.

Deep Roots #1 is a flawed yet engaging sci-fi/fantasy read. The narrative is a little unfocused, but, when it works, it works well. The art of Rodrigues and Farrell is where the book shines its brightest, and thats what pushes it over into recommendation territory. Check it out. Read Full Review

Wow...I absolutely loved this. It was exactly the kind of "don't have a clue what's going on but I am 100% here for it" mystery that utterly hooks me. The setup here was perfect. The switching main characters twist absolutely floored me...I thought that was a brilliant touch. The art was unique and I thought it fit the tone of the story very well. Watters has impressed me a lot lately, but I still wasn't prepared for how much I ended up enjoying this.

I wasn't really under the spell of this complicated story. I understood the old guardian waking-up. I liked the story about the veteran saving lives. But I stop following with the secret organisation, the woman in her dream, the other monster awaken ! Same the idea of a old guardian thing who would be lost after era asleep in a world he will not recognize & a world who will not recognize him could have bee something more. Cover - I took the variant. I see a link & she is better than the regular for my taste. 2/2 Writing - He lost me in the dream ... Damn I hate when I find myself not ready for a story, because I feel that more my fault than his maybe. 2/3 Arts - Not totally my taste. But that do a good job. And the dream was very inve ntive. 2.5/3 Feelings - Not for me. But I feel like, that could be for another than me. Their is a very inventive part & a story well conceived ! 0/2 more
