Trillium is a beautiful new mini-series, both in terms of visuals and story-telling. It was originally intended to be a love story, albeit in a relatively bizarre setting, but this aspect seemed elusive in the incredible first installment. However, the beauty of Trillium really begins to shine through in issue #2. Aside from this, the story is wonderfully inventive, intriguing, and mysterious and will surely be recalled as one of the greats from Vertigo. Read Full Review

Trillium is a science-fiction tale intertwined with messages of curiosity, love and self-discovery that Lemire delivers passionately and its hard to pull away. Read Full Review

Easily a candidate for some end-of-the-year awards, but then again, isn't that always the case when Jeff Lemire does his own thing? A more assured creator-owned creative talent you'd be hard-pressed to find. “Trillium” proves that Lemire has plenty of legs after the award-winning “Essex County” and “Sweet Tooth” have long been put away. There's plenty of “Trillium” left, so if it wasn't already on your radar by now, get it on there. And if Jeff Lemire isn't yet someone you're paying attention to, then what are you doing? Every creator-owned thing he does should be on automatic pull by now. Read Full Review

With the added elements of war-induced PTSD and the coming of the apocalyptic Caul, Lemire looks poised to deliver a love story unlike we've ever heard before. Read Full Review

This is a story that succeeds on every single level possible. The pacing is consistent throughout right up until the final two pages when it kicks into overdrive and ends on a really great cliffhanger, something that was touched on in the previous issue but took a temporary backseat to all the time-crossed adventures of Nina and William. The wait for the third issue is going to be really, really long. Read Full Review

Vertigo, I think, has been on a streak of revivalism as of late, with a slew of new series coming out and some mini (maxi-?)-series being released at a steady pace. Trillium is part of this revivalist streak, and is ushering in a new era of stories not just for Vertigo itself, but for the medium as a whole. Now if only something like this could get more press than say, X-Men crossover number one billion. Read Full Review

Not exactly the most productive issue, plot-wise, but a powerful example of natural character writing. The art has to be accepted on its own terms, but once you do, it reveals surprising depths. Read Full Review

While not as immediately arresting as the debut issue, Lemire has crafted a world that has us completely hooked at this point. We can't wait until the third issue to see what magic he will weave then. Read Full Review

Trillium is another fantastic addition to their canon. It's epic sci-fi at its best. Having followed Lemire from Essex County to Sweet Tooth (via Lost Dogs, Rip Hunter in Time Warp #1 and now Green Arrow) " this is some of his best work. Read Full Review

The art is good here and a bit subtle in the way it goes about things. The coloring for William's story is more water-colorish and white, while Nika's side has more solid and flatter coloring. It makes you look at both of their vantage points in a different way. The borders on the outside of the pages are color coated as well, with William being blue and Nika being reddish orange. Later on, when they discover the Trillium, the colors blend together and borders disappear. Very nice touch. Throw in some great character expressions that help sell these characters and their interactions, and it is a great looking book. 8.5 Very simple, yet very engaging.The dialogue and interactions between the characters is great.The art is very beautiful, from the obvious to subtle touches.Story progression? What's that? Read Full Review

This book is much like the rest of Lemire's work - stellar. Read Full Review

As off-putting as these little incidents are, it doesn’t dissuade me from continuing to read Trillium. Lemire is a slow starter. Sweet Tooth didn’t grab me for the first few issues, and Animal Man almost lost me. Trillium remains exciting to me, and it also remains one of the few books I’m left guessing at when it ends. As for the art, well, I like Lemire’s bizarre sense of the human anatomy. Some will hate it, and I get that. For me, it’s the kind of weird art the story needs. Read Full Review

Another fantastic installment in this fantastical series.
