Welcome to the Conservatory.
After Earth was shattered into surviving pockets across the galaxy, humanity’s most talented young women train at this prestigious celestial boarding school to become the next generation of mech pilots.
But these students aren’t soldiers, they’re ballerinas; and the mechs aren’t built for battle, but performance. All engineered in body and mind to entertain a ruling class of cosmic patrons in an annual life-or-death recital of mankind’s only unifying story: the saga of Appolyta the Huntress, a goddess whose pursuit of one last elusive prey ends in heartbreak.

Creators this year are continuing to bring new and different ideas to various mediums and Dufault is no different. If you’re in need a female-centric sci-fi tale that feels like a breath of fresh air, let “Prima Apparata” be that. You won’t walk away disappointed. Read Full Review

Prima Apparatus #1 is an ambitious and visually striking beginning that clearly has a much bigger story to tell. I’m just not sure the first chapter gives us enough reason to stick around for it. Read Full Review
