![]() I think that this is a must for many science fiction fans and I am looking forward to reading 'Sentient' again very soon. It's a great premise, with the after effects of the tragedy and the crews' interactions with each other and the AI handled well. They and their children fall foul of the separatists' plans, leaving several crew members incapacitated and the ships artificial intelligent computer, Valerie, in temporary (and reluctant!) command. ![]() This where the multi-cultural crew of the USS Montgomery come in. There are people that believe this colony should be free of Earth's influence and are not afraid to use violent means to achieve this. ![]() The story focuses on a 'booster ship', a ship with more people and equipment to help a colony in deep space that has been established because the Earth is rapidly becoming uninhabitable. The text is realistic, concise and nuanced and the visuals and designs are quietly superb. Have no doubts, this is a beautifully rendered tale. I hadn't read a new graphic novel in about a year, so you won't be surprised that I read 'Sentient' in one sitting. ![]() I ordered this graphic novel a few weeks ago and got it today, it is the collection of issues 1-6. Eisner Award-winners, Jeff Lemire and Gabriel Walta, bring us a moving, engaging and beautiful science fiction tale of survival and friendship. ![]()
