Boone is investigating a murder mystery in another dimension. The Blaze was a great hero of the Ether, sworn protector of the weak. Her murder was an attack on the Ether itself. As Boone hunts for clues to solve the crime, he makes powerful enemies and unexpected allies.
It looks like Kindt is heading towards some kind of revelation. Maybe a convergence of the two plot lines we've seen in the series so far. Read Full Review
Kindt is really proving he can write almost anything at this point. Ether #3 is just more proof that there is a reason his name is attached to books from different publishers, and the list keeps growing. The comedy in Ether is sharp, and the mystery is interesting. The world is so much fun, and while we haven't gone that far into the lore or species, it feels like there is something very deep there. I would absolutely recommend this book in single issue or trade form when the issues are collected. If you do not want to wait, see if your local comic shop has the first two issues, grab this, and then the final two as they come out. As I have said before, if you like Dr. Strange, or a fun lighthearted book with a charming and sometimes goofy hero, then this is the book for you. It's about magic and science, but it never takes itself too seriously. Read Full Review
The half-mechanical, half magical golem is an interesting sight from artist David Rubin. The brief peek of how it works is interesting and some solid art. The Faerie Kingdom is a unique place, from what is seen and revealed. Rubin does a great job creating distinguishing the cities in the Ether giving each a unique style all their own. Read Full Review
Ether continues to be one my most anticipated books each and every month and has yet to disappoint. It reminds me of the early days of Hellboy in that here is a world that you are familiar with, but there are things that go bump in the night. However instead of the monsters coming to get you we see there is a mundane bureaucratic system to the world of magic, even baboon gatekeepers are nine to five. Read Full Review
Ether #3 is a strong midpoint to this limited series (only two issues remaining) and digs deep into the mysteries that have been set up. Matt Kindt and David Rubin have developed some wonderful characters with Boone Dias and Glum. They have fleshed out both characters and after the first two issues, the readers are invested in them. Ether #3 pulls together great mystery, action, comedy and drama all in one issue. Read Full Review
Kindt and Rubn continue to build a gorgeous world around the increasingly tragic story of Boone Dias. I only wish we had more than a mini-series to explore all the corners of Ether that these issues have only hinted at. Read Full Review
Overall, I enjoy venturing into the Ether with Boone and Glum. It's an interesting world filled with magic that is reimagined in an interesting and creative way. The combination of an inventive concept, filled with likeable and funny characters, along with fun and whimsical art makes for an enjoyable read. I look forward to the next issue and once again stepping through the portal with Boone to this weird and wonderful world where magic and science collide! Read Full Review
This was an entertaining issue, and I think things may be getting more interesting with the ending and a suggestion that we may be seeing both of Boone's world's merge.
Great world detail as always. Not sure I enjoyed the fairy character but I'll give her another issue to see if she develops beyond being a bit grumpy. Boone is acting more badass and the ending was extremely interesting, lots of questions about Boones past to be addressed in coming issues! Excellent series so far, often find myself gazing into the detailed world and feeling the.. ooooooo!
