Fiery exploding skulls; super volcanic eruptions; interstellar travel; a mission gone horribly wrong; the ground turned to liquid; a miraculous launch; trapped half a mile beneath the surface of the planet and surrounded by otherworldly fire--the situation is looking dire for Helen and Arther as they attempt to blast their way back to the surface, Helen learns the truth behind the mission to Canopus amping up her urgency to return home.
This series had a slow but inventive build, but with Canopus #3, everything comes together brilliantly. This issue and series in general is a must-read. Great storytelling, excellent art, and it all comes together in the best way possible. Read Full Review
Canopus definitely has me intrigued here to see more of the reality of what's going on and what Helen's going to face next. There's a lot of critical backstory placed into the flashback pieces here and it helps to build more of the narrative with what Helen is facing in her now, though her now is pretty messed up based on the discovery she makes along the way. Arther continues to steal the show for me in a lot of ways as Chisholm makes him far too enjoyable to watch with his sizes and the expressions we get out of him. It's a solid book that hopefully sticks the landing as well as it has the journey so far in the next issue. Read Full Review
