The Seeds (Dark Horse)
Did anyone else pick up issue 1 of this 4-parter? I took a chance on it today, and I'm glad I did. Unlike many other first issues, this one actually answered (or at least gave hints) some important questions about what was going on. I just hope there are still more mysteries to come.
-
I bought it on a whim and... Just wow. Between this and She Could Fly, Dark Horse have some of the best minis starting at the moment! I absolutely loved this and can't wait for the second issue! I think it stands a chance of being one of 2018's best comics. The writing is spectacular and the art is beautiful, together they combine to create something perfect.
-
Yeah, I loved it. Really looking forward to issue 2 and seeing where it goes.
No surprise, but Aja killed it. Reminded me of what Mazzuccelli did on his City of Glass adaptation. Have to assume it was am imfluence.
-
I, too, enjoyed this first issue. A lot is put forward, and some of it explained, certainly enough to base a series on. And yeah, looks pretty, too!
-
I thought it was good. Nice art. The writing was purposefully obscure. But still just clear enough to follow. That is a fine line that some writers go over, making the writing impenetrable. I have faith that Nocenti is good enough to avoid that.
-
Just read the second issue and it's definitively one of my favourite books in years. Wonderful writing and art in perfect interaction and great themes for a very intriguing story. I love it!
-
Well this is not a feel good book. Pretty grim and dark.
I really didlike the reporter and her editor. And the aliens are not "friendlies".
I wonder why they chose the monotone pallette for the color.
A simple pallette is fine, but just the gray makes it a Black and White book.

Just finished #2. This is comics done right.
-
Issue 1 was so bizarre but entertaining that I had to stay onboard for issue 2. I feel it's important to support the more 'out there' titles because the comics world needs more variety.
-
I'm really bummed about how long it's taking for issue 3 to come out.
I know Aja is slow, but I thought they had a lot of lead time on this.
-
When I first read issues 1 and 2 my reaction was something like, "Interesting - I'll stick with this." Just a couple weeks ago I re-read them and they really clicked for me this time and I thought, "This is amazing!" It's only a 4-issue mini, right? Kind of wish it was going longer - hard to see how they'll wrap things up given the slow-burn storytelling. On the other hand, if the whole thing were longer we'd probably go crazy waiting for each new issue.
-
The wait is disappointing, but the quality of the existing two issues is so high that I’ll happily wait for the next two, however long they take.
-
Just trying to be patient. Quality is worth waiting for. That said, it'd be nice if--especially with short series as this is said to be--issue one was released only when work on the series could be seen as all-but-completed.
