SERIES PREMIERE
Acclaimed creator CURT PIRES returns to Image for a brand-new ongoing series with the creative team behind the smash-hit series Youth, soon to be a show on Amazon Prime!
RADIANT BLACK meets THE DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH in this action-packed sci-fi/mystery epic as journalist Donovan Price hunts down the extraordinarily gifted INDIGO CHILDREN after their mysterious disappearance fifteen years prior.
An EXTRA-LENGTH FIRST ISSUE for the regular price of just $3.99!
Indigo Children is a near perfect first issue that successfully takes a fairly common trope of the sci-fi gifted child and invigorates it by taking some interesting risks with how much it shows the reader while the art team execute an absolutely flawlessly paced cinematic comic that sucks you in and doesn't let go till the last page. A very strong and promising debut issue from everyone involved. Read Full Review
Indigo Children #1 delivers a tightly plotted, starkly illustrated sci-fi thriller that raises just as many questions as it answers. Is Alexei a savior or a tyrant? Is he the next stage of evolution, or a force from beyond the stars? Whatever the answers, I look forward to where future issues take us. Read Full Review

Indigo Children #1 is an intriguing start. It uses a rather controversial term for its title but overall the comic steers clear of the controversy. Instead, it's a placeholder for mutant or meta that other publishers use. How it all plays out should be rather interesting as the setup is intriguing and the comic itself paces things out nicely.

This double-length debut issue is action packed with outstanding simple artwork from Alex Diotto, amazing colors from Dee Cunniffe, and eye-catching lettering from Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. The creative team uses color changes to decipher between current times and flashbacks which is something that works well for simple comic readers. The book is both well written, which is to be expected with Pires and Rockwell White, and great to look at visually. Read Full Review
Final ThoughtsGovernment conspiracies, a hint of Heinleins novel Stranger In A Strange Land, and an overt reference to The Truman Show make this an intriguing debut. After two readings, I dont understand everything in Indigo Children #1, but I welcome learning more. Read Full Review

Indigo Children #1 doesn't deliver enough. It's derivative, ineffective at the basic tenets of the genre it's trying to play in, and the execution of its simple plot is rough around the edges. Read Full Review

As far as compelling first issues go this was pretty well done. It doesn't give away too much but it gives away enough to keep you hooked.
The art is decievingly gritty. The dialogue is pretty good. But the overall atmosphere and concept scratches the itch.
Picked this up totally off of impulse and I am glad I did.
I thought it set up a good bit for a first issue. Where they go from here could go a few different ways. I'm curious to what kind of story they want to tell.
