Grieving mother Shannon Kind awakens on a primordial world, mysteriously wielding the power to shape its destiny. Will she be this world's savior - or its destroyer? From New York Times-bestsellers Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing (Batman & Robin Eternal, Joyride) and Nathan Gooden (Powerless) comes a fantasy epic that's equal parts Red Sonja, Dune, and Slaughterhouse Five. Can you survive ZOJAQAN?
Zojaqan #1 is an impressive first issue, emotionally arresting through its artwork and dialogue. There's no real explanation of Shannon's plight here, but ultimately it's not needed; this is an exploration of grief and circumstance against a beautiful and surreal science fiction backdrop, driven primarily by Shannon's journey rather the specifics of what has made her unstuck from time or where and when Zojaqan exists in the universe. Vault Comics has an all-star team on hand with Zojaqan #1, and this week's debut issue is absolutely worth checking out. Read Full Review
