So, reading this graphic novel right after reading To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paoilini was probably not the best idea. I didn't realize how similar the "living planet" would be to some of the events in Paolini's book. Now, that's not a bad thing at all. It just gave me some very visceral artwork to think about for when I re-read Paolini's book!
The story itself is a great work of horror, though. The basic premise is there's a rogue planet that obviously holds an alien race in thrall and demands regular sacrifices to it. These sacrifices then become embedded in the planet in horrific ways. When a team of human salvagers land on the planet they get way more than the salvage they sought.
This graphic novel is full of colorful and vivid artwork that did a great job in visualizing the horrors represented by the story. It's great for anyone looking for a sci-fi horror story that's for sure. It's got aliens, strange planets, and a crew of human scavengers who get stuck in the middle of it all. I will say, though, anyone who is sensitive to depictions of graphic violence may not be comfortable reading this graphic novel.
In fact, one of the opening scenes involves the sacrifice of an alien child by its own parent, and there are some gruesome images of blood, gore, body horror, and violence throughout. So, be aware of that much before picking this up.
