Interesting and quirky. I didn’t want to put this one down, and the quotes at each issue set the tone nicely. The artwork was mostly great. Very colorful! And everyone had the thickest eyebrows. They were like slabs of bacon. A unique stylistic choice.

Also, the costume designs were equally regal and futuristic. Please give me Syzn’s coat and cape. Jo also has a lovely array of different hairstyles. Yes, she gets to switch it up. c:

I thought Farsector would be just another space fantasy, but there were a lot of real-world social issues (police brutality, peaceful protest vs riots, wait for change or take it yourself, drug addiction stigma, voting rights racism, political unrest, etc) here. Everything felt like a mystery with a hardened tough detective who can’t hide their soft side.

Although I mainly read for fun or escapism these days, I thought the real-life elements made Jo well-rounded with a strong sense of character. She just wants justice but has had a hard time making it happen. Her previous experiences and background are what makes her who she is. Because of that, she brings a different perspective as a Green Lantern, especially as a black (American; N.K Jemisin loves New York with her entire soul) woman.

Last thing: would you rather be paid in cat memes or dog memes? Dogs all the way for me! Who’s a good boy?… (mehr)
