New York Times-bestselling writers JEFF LEMIRE (GIDEON FALLS, DESCENDER) and MATT KINDT (BANG!, MIND MGMT) unite with internationally acclaimed artist DAVID RUBÃ N (BEOWULF, Ether) for original graphic novel COSMIC DETECTIVE, an epic science fiction mystery that asks: When a God is murdered, who solves the crime?
Enter our detective. The murder of a god threatens to tear apart the very fabric of our reality, and only he stands in the way of utter destruction. Will the mystery he uncovers be worse than the disaster he's trying to avert? And will his mind crack under the revelations he's about to uncover before he can do anything about more
Cosmic Detective is a killer sci-fi noir that channels a specific Kirby vibe to tell a story of twisted truth and cosmic ideals. Kindt and Lemire ground the tale in the muddy elements of the typical detective story while propelling it to the sweeping level of cosmic beings. That dichotomy is captured perfectly through Rubns art, colors, and lettering, all of which strike the right balance between the two genres and textures. These elements switch between the detailed and simplistic for maximum effect and makes for a dynamic reading experience. This book is for fans of both the lowly detectives and stunning gods, coexisting in both genres for a totality of the compelling story. Read Full Review
It was decent I guess. I liked it a lot towards the beginning, but then it just got pretty convoluted and boring. It's a shame. I normally like the work of the creators, the art was pretty good, it just didn't really do much for me.
