Low is beautiful, imaginative, inspiring and thrilling. The first volume enjoys every advantage a indie book like this has over other titles and utilizes it's freedom brilliantly. The art is absolutely gorgeous and the story has had me waiting anxiously for more. This is my favourite comic being published right now and it is not one to be missed.

Low Vol. 1: The Delirium of Hope (2015) by Rick Remender and Greg Tocchini (Image) I have really enjoyed some of Remender's other sci-fi work. I loved Black Science, Seven to Eternity, and his previous collaboration partially with Tocchini on Uncanny X-Force. From my other reviews you can probably tell I have a unique appreciation for recurring collaborative teams. I think Remender captured my shared thoughts in an interview: "That really is the magic, when you can work with somebody and you have a friendship that forms out of it. The work, I think, benefits from that -- the collaboration is more pure than work." -Rick Remender (on his work with Tocchini) Tocchini's art was absolutely beautiful on this book. I enjoyed his blending more

I really liked the story here especially the hope aspect of everything but the art killed a lot of enjoyment of this book for me. There are underwater splash pages that are brilliant but when the action starts up and there are a lot of characters involved everything bleeds together and is almost impossible to really see what is going on.

Beautiful artwork and a fascinating concept, in the back half it felt like Remender wanted to put aside his female protagonist for the sake of her son, who is on a redemption arc. The ending managed to re-center the focus, though I wish it wasn't at the cost of the female characters, namely Stel and her daughter, her spend a lot of time in Princess Leia's shoes as nothing more than objectified prisoners. Looking forward to volume 2, because there's so much to this world that begs to be explored.

The art feels like thumbnails with color added, it's unclear if Tocchini spends no time on his pages, or if this is truly his style. Unclear how necessary the t&a is to move the story along - we're regularly reminded of the debauchery of the society: we get it already, thanks. But like most heterosexual male led comics: it's the women that are predominantly being drawn for the male gaze... honestly, as a hetero male myself : BORING and unrealistic.
