    Given that we have had such a wait for season three of the show. This book is a rare treat indeed. It only makes me more excited for what we may see on the television series when it eventually returns. Read Full Review

    Beyond The Panel - Jideobi Odunze

    Oct 07, 2020

    With the conclusion of The Orville #2: Launch Day (Part 2 of 2), the first story of season 2.5 comes to a close. Still I must say that I love what this comic has to offer. Still self-contained stories, everything you love about The Orville, and doing more with what the medium allows. Read Full Review

    The Super Powered Fancast - Timala Elliott

    Jun 02, 2021

    This is a colorful issue consisting of a deep and bold palate choice. The characters are done very well and look like their television counterparts. The detailed drawings are very engaging and the use of character expression and form are emotionally connective. Read Full Review

    Bleeding Cool - Hannibal Tabu

    Dec 05, 2021

    Like the show itself, this is some super enjoyable science fiction cloaked in the clothes of facetiousness. This small but efficient mini-series nails everything it needs to do, and that's a delight. Read Full Review

    The Orville fans will feel at home and like they're reading an unproduced episode of the TV show, while more comics-literate fans will be let down by that same feeling. Read Full Review

    BGCP - Benjamin Milne

    Jun 04, 2021

    While there is not a lot of action here, it instead has a semblance of Infinity War's scale of tragedy amongst our beloved crew. Can the former crew of the Orville coincide and stop the Kaylon fleet from wiping the universe clean of all things natural in this alternate reality? One can only hope. Read Full Review

    The Villain

    Aug 21, 2019

    A short but enjoyable adventure. Once again the writer does a good job of capturing the tone of the show.

    Too quick and neat a resolution undermines the good work put in to getting the tone and characters right.
