Following a great resource war on Earth, a group of disillusioned human colonists seek refuge on a desolate planet in a remote binary star system. They plan to build a utopia, but when the yellow sun sets leaving only a blue sun above, a deep indigo shadow covers the colony. Local alien legend says the "Blue Hour" will spell evil and ruin for all who venture out of shelter. Can the colonists overcome this harsh environment and their own human nature to survive the "Blue Hour?"
Blue Hour #1 gives a stellar introduction to colonists trying to start over after Earth's resources have been laid to waste. While there was some issues with proportions here and there, the art was good. Clean lines, decent detail and excellent choices in color give the book a good atmosphere. Caruso pens a great issue with strong character development, building plot lines and captivating readers these characters and storylines. Tying in the title to the story the way he did was simple, but quite effective with the build up of the issue. It's a pretty strong start. Read Full Review
I like the possibilities that could be explored on a planet where human beings are the aliens. It is a refreshing idea and one I would find interesting if pursued. There is certainly the possibility of a good story here. It remains to be seen if Blue Hour can exploit that possibility and last more than a few issues. Read Full Review
