The central mystery, too, appears to be laid out in nice fashion, and while it’s a little formulaic, I like everything else going on within so much as to not mind.

That is to say, in a mere four issues, the world of Eclipse is very clearly laid out for us. The characters all have clear backgrounds - our main hero, naturally, lost his wife and child during the cataclysmic event - and established relationships and hierarchies. The first arc, itself, sets a pretty decent hook. Little logical progressions like that make me really happy in sci-fi stories. Firemen would, naturally, make great candidates for this, as it would be an extension of their former job. They have to maneuver through urban environments and occasionally save people or fix heavy equipment. The Icemen have to wear very heavy, bulky suits that are equipped with oxygen and coolant. It’s not as sexy as Saga, or nostalgia-fueled as Paper Girls, but it has some really nice touches going on that help elevate it above post-apocalyptic schlock.įor one, our hero is an ex-fireman, which makes a lot of sense. I read a few things about it, here and there, but after diving into the first four issues, I feel as though Eclipse is poised to be the next sleeper sci-fi comic hit.
#ECLIPSE BOOK TEST SERIES#
This series flew largely below my radar last year, and I’m really puzzled as to why. All isn’t exactly well in Eclipse’s grim view of the future, but thing get even worse as a person appears to be dragging people above ground to murder them via the sun. People have retreated underground - the comic is set in NYC, given its labyrinthine subway system - with select people roaming the above ground in special suits. It’s essentially as though we are suddenly living on Venus, with the sun not only being much hotter, but the radiation from the sun’s rays literally melts people. I am, admittedly, pretty sick and tired of post-apocalyptic/disaster stories, so I approached with cautious ( very cautious) optimism.Įclipse takes place 10 years after a solar event that makes the sun’s rays deadly to people. Then there are the series I pick up out of sheer curiosity, like Zack Kaplan’s Eclipse. Other times, I pick up a series because it has a setting and theme I really like.
#ECLIPSE BOOK TEST TV#
Sometimes, I pick up a series because it was optioned as a TV show.
