    Beyond The Panel - Jideobi Odunze Oct 7, 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

    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

    BGCP - Benjamin Milne Jun 4, 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
