review:
'Roche Limit Volume 2: Clandestiny' by Michael Moreci with art by Kyle Charles is a truly strange story. It falls into the genre of weird fiction and reminded me of the work of Jeff Vandermeer.

75 years after a ship has been sent out to colonize a planet, another ship is sent out after them. No one has heard a thing from the original mission, but when the current mission crash lands on the planet, they find that not all is as it appears. There are hostile alien life forms and a strange forest that would seem to give you your dreams, but perhaps that is the last thing you want on a planet like this. Solving the mystery of the previous mission takes second place to just surviving the planet and each other.

The story is as strange as it sounds. I enjoy this sort of story where basic perceptions and senses may not be relied on. This seems like a horrifying thing to happen. The art by Kyle Charles is good, but it seems a little muddy at times, and it's a bit hard to sometimes figure out what is happening. That may be intentional, but it didn't feel like it. Still I liked this bizarre story of survival and loss.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Image Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
