Chrisjen Avasarala, the former longtime Secretary-General of the United Nations, has found herself relegated to Luna after losing the latest elections... and she doesn't plan on going down without a fight. So when Bobbie Draper -- a former Martian marine -- brings her intel on an intergalactic black market weapons ring, Avasarala sees a chance to reclaim her former political position of power through a clandestine operation. But as Draper digs deeper into this secret cabal, she soon realizes the threat they pose is far larger -- and closer to home -- than either of them ever imagined...

These comic book tie-ins are always a little shaky, but this one is particularly rough. At least the previous series The Expanse: Origins was written by writers from the show, who obviously had a firm grasp on the characters. This new series feels way off. The characters are all wrong, the dialogue and exposition are extremely clunky, etc. Unless you're an Expanse completist, I'd probably avoid it entirely. One thing I did particularly like was the illustration style. It lends a unique visual el These comic book tie-ins are always a little shaky, but this one is particularly rough.

Good start for a sci-fi crime/investigative story. The casual diversity of the characters is awesome and the world building is there, though the storytellers are doing a more show-not-tell method of expressing the story and I feel like I'm still clueless on what's actually going on. The scenes and how they convey info through mundane/real encounters is refreshing, and frustrating. Each peek only gives a hint of information and I'm not sure if I'm paying enough attention or if the lack is deliber Good start for a sci-fi crime/investigative story.

Still, I'm mostly intrigued at this point and looking forward to seeing how the next three issues fills in the pieces and gets us to a climax. 35/50

This did nothing for me. Maybe because I’ve neither read the books nor seen the show. The sketchy art style felt almost more incomplete than stylish, too. But I’m not uninterested. I’m probably grab the remaining three issues for completist’s sake.

Not overly required. Art work looks too shaky/sketch style which isnt a great style for me

As someone who loves the show this was a definite hit and miss. The characters don't feel right, the setting doesn't seem right, etc. Hopefully the other 3 make up for it but we'll just have to see.
