The mathematician in me really wishes the comics industry would abandon the idea of issue #0. How about issue #1/2, or 3/4, or 7/8?
Maybe it's just me.
At any rate, Aspen previews its new series Awaken Skies with this issue #0 (sigh).
Previews are all well and good, but this one doesn't give us much to work with.
We meet a computer hacker (I think) who has downloaded some important information (apparently) and who tries to escape with it - but he's pursued by... well, let's just say a really unusual group.
We also meet a lovely high school student whose dad is apparently hiding a secret about her - but we don't know what.
And that's really all you get this time around.
Hopefully once the series starts this will make some sense, but for now they're not giving us much of a reason to stick around, other than a striking cover.
Grade: B-
