“Deadly Harvest #1” By Yannis Roumboulias & Erik Hendrix Review

Core mining, the deadliest job in the galaxy, draws only the bravest, or craziest, workers around. Bumping up to asteroids, typically propelling at astronomical speeds towards distant stars, the miners harvest minerals essential to interstellar travel and commerce. Close quarters, dangerous conditions, and less than a half inch of polymer sheath stand between them and swift oblivion. 

The premise of this comic book is very promising and intriguing. Because the whole premise of this comic book is set in a world filled with mystery and danger which I personally found to be very enjoyable and interesting. 

But the way the premise of this comic book was executed really lacks any form from depth and clarity in it. Which really didn’t help me with liking this comic book. 

The storyline in this comic book feels very scattered, with scenes that don’t connect with each other which really made me very confused at times. Because all the scenes in this comic book aren’t coherent and like they are meant to be next to each other because they don’t make any chance together in the bigger picture. 

But also the intriguing setup which the storyline had (which I mentioned above) is undermined by a lack of cohesive storytelling. Which really made me so annoyed at this comic book at times.

The characters in this comic book had a lot of potential to be very good characters. But the way the characters are presented to us make them feel very underdeveloped.

The protagonist and supporting cast have some interesting qualities, but their motivations and backstories are not fully fleshed out.and because of this lack of depth and personalities to the characters in this comic book makes it difficult for me personally to get invested in their journeys.

The artwork in this comic book is very good and memorable. Because the artwork in this comic book has the dark vibe and atmospheric tone of the narrative effectively. The visuals gives us the eerie setting. Which for me personally was the best part about this comic book

The themes which this comic book is trying to give us, feel very unexplored and shallow at times. The potential for rich thematic content is evident but remains largely untapped due to the fragmented storytelling.

I Give This Book 2 / 5
