    What at first seemed to me was going to be a simple cosmic story with fun twists and turns has evolved into something I feel is much more complex. We follow the story of Laika the space dog as she went from street dog to astronaut - and we see it through her point of view.

    Lemire’s script this issue is fairly simple but extremely effective. His script combined with Andrea Sorrentino’s astounding art immediately make you fall in love with Laika. There are moments that will break your heart a bit, and all you’ll want to do is give her a hug. Sorrentino is able to depict so many different emotions coming from Laika that’s it’s almost like she’s speaking simply by using her eyes and facial expressions.

    Dave Stewart’s colors provide surreal sequences throughout the issue that allow you to feel like you’re in a dreamscape.

    Going any deeper into the plot is sure to spoil the magic of this issue. So, if you’ve yet to read Primordial I implore you to read the first two issues. The first will grab your attention but it’s this one that will have you hooked.
