Dark Horse brings us the first issue of Invisible Kingdom, and it’s stunning!
It’s a Berger Book, one of the Karen Berger-edited imprints from Dark Horse. Written by Hugo Award-winning G. Willow Wilson and illustrated by Christian Ward, this stunning sci-fi adventure beams us lock, stock and barrel into a totally new universe. A new vision of future, space travel, and conflict.
Two women, on opposite ends of the social spectrum, separately uncover a link between organized religion and big business. They are a ‘none’ and a freighter pilot. This sets up the drama and conflict of Invisible Kingdom but scarcely scratches the surface in describing the way this comic unfolds.
I am very impressed by the vision of both writer and artist in bringing us a unique atmosphere and a deeply thought-out set of characters and circumstances. It’s like Blade Runner Revisited or Tron-Meets-Moebius.
Visually captivating, strongly written and powerfully presented.
