I have come to trust a lot of indie books for good stories, and Satellite Falling is no different. I can already see this becoming one of my fave IDW titles next to Jem and the Holograms of course. I had no idea what I was getting into when I was presented with this book. I had no idea what I was in for just looking at the cover. Now that I do know, I want everyone to know that this book is definitely worth a read. Read Full Review

This series has promise, theres no doubt about it – from the incredible artwork, right through to the execution of the premise. Quite where its going at this stage is anyones guess, but for the first time in a while, Ive got the right kind of wanting more. It doesnt feel like its stopped short, or holding anything back – exactly the right amount of exposure and intrigue happens before the vaguely traditional cliff-hanger ending. There are bold ideas here, bold designs too, and its all tied together with a fluidity thats deeply enticing. This is the sort of story that Babylon 5 and Farscape wished they couldve been, and is easily one of the best issue ones Ive read in months. Read Full Review

The best new book of 2016. A book that captures the feel of a classic thriller while set in a wholly alien environment. Highest possible recommendation. Read Full Review

Science fiction fans need this in their life. The world reads as if it's honest-to-goodness alive and the protagonist is living there as we speak. You won't be disappointed if you like a character focused story with a lot of science fiction thrown in. Read Full Review

First issues are difficult. They not only have to set up the story, and the characters, and the world, they also have to act as a sales pitch for the series as a whole. Satellite Falling #1 does an admirable job on all accounts. The story is intriguing, the characters nuanced, the world engrossing, and it offers the promise of a fantastic science fiction tale to come. Satellite Falling #1 is both an auspicious start and a fantastic read in and of itself. Read Full Review

Satellite Falling doesn't give us everything at once, and instead is the start of a mystery adventure with something genuinely fresh in the world of comic book sci-fi. Horton, Thompson and Jackson have taken a familiar bit of plotting and placed something simultaneously otherworldly and believable on top of it, ensuring the audience is hooked and there are plenty more pieces to be unpacked in future issues. Read Full Review

Horton ensures that Lilly's character continues to stay fresh; her conscience comes into play near the end of the issue, something that makes for another twist that is yet another selling point for issue #2. Dynamic storytelling keeps the comic fresh and unpredictable, with stunningly constructed art to boot. "Satellite Falling" #1 is a genuine example of storytelling excellence in comics, one that uses its influences to create something refreshing. Read Full Review

This new series effectively blends familiar tropes with an unusual setting and arrives at something unique. It certainly helps that writer Steve Horton doesn't get hung up on world building. He merely drops readers into Lily's colorful world and allows the details to form organically over the course of the issue. Read Full Review

Satellite Falling is a sci-fi beauty, with an understated but poignant emotional thread stringing it together. And hey, any comic in which the protagonist throws out a self-deprecating remark about "ersatz self-therapy" getmy attention. And respect. Read Full Review

Satellite Falling charms the reader within the first few pages with its Samantha Spade protagonist navigating a strange new alien-filled world. The lush color palette on an imaginatively constructed setting elevates the engagement and enjoyment, while an action-driven plot makes reading both fast and fun. Read Full Review

Satellite Falling doesn't do a lot of heavy lifting in establishing the makeup of this particular place, or humanity's connection to it, but it has some neat little bits to it. I like that we get a world where Lilly is the only human and that she went there to get away from everything that would remind her of her loss. Throwing yourself into your work is common for a lot of people in these situations and I've been there myself, just not with the bounty hunting. Steve Horton has set up things well with pretty much an open field of possibilities and Stephen Thompson and Lisa Jackson look like they're definitely going to bring it to life well with him. It's definitely a solid debut for a new book that should entice the science fiction fans with something that has the right balance of humor and action with just a little bit more to it.

A very enjoyable first issue of what looks to be a memorable miniseries. Read Full Review

This is a great story about someone trying to move onto the next chapter of her life. Lilly is trying to get over Eva by distracting herself with work. So far, it hasn’t been working, but hopefully we’ll see some nice character development throughout the series. I’d say this is definitely a successful first issue, and I can’t wait for more!

The series seems like it's trying to be Saga, which isnt a bad thing at all since Saga is one of the best comic books on the market today. Though the first issue does feel a bit too standard with the plot, thanks to the fantastic creature creations and the theme of trying to find a piece of yourself after losing something, this book has the potential to be a series with a large following in the near future. Read Full Review

Overall, I still think theres great potential in this story. As boring as I found the character of Lily, theres still a lot about her that we dont know, and theres still a chance to make her an interesting character. It would have been better for the book if it focused more on establishing the main character in this first issue, rather than diving headfirst into it'sclichd plot. Read Full Review

Overall, I might pick up the second issue to see if anything improves, but the problems in Satellite Falling #1 are too numerous and run too deep for me to be excited about where this goes. Read Full Review

There's not much in this first issue that you can look forward to in the next. The entire book relies on the main character. I'm more interested in the supporting alien characters that are briefly depicted. But our human protagonist Lily is the star of this series. The whole bad girl that wants to be good has been done to death recently and frankly it's not interesting anymore. I feel like female characters don't have to be short-tempered and trash-talkers to be interesting. It's not edgy. It's just lazy. That's what this book relies on and I don't expect much further characterization from this series so I'll take for what it is. At the end of the day I still prefer sticking to Saga for my sci-fi needs. Satellite Falling falls too short to replace it. Read Full Review

Disappointing. Peel away the now obligatory 'diversity' and sci-fil content, and what do you have? A bounty hunter/gangster story which we've all seen a thousand times before. The artwork adds 2 points to my score and deserves a better story.
