Weeks and maybe even years away from the closest light source a ship out in space would be like the darkest of alleys and brighter in places like the cockpit. Walta does a fantastic job of using a dark color palette that realistically portrays the artificial light you’d encounter while exploring the darkness of space. What gets overlooked because it is not the focus of the panel are all the stars, wires, and other components in the background that are so important for making the setting feel as real as possible for something that almost none of us will ever experience. So much work goes into science fiction especially when there’s spaceships and technology involved. Gabriel Walta is the award winning artist from The Vision returning to science fiction to illustrate this harrowing tale of children immediately forced to grow up. Not only that, but factor in that the only surviving crew members are children and you’re flirting with a Lord of the Flies situation. Sentient explores the terror of being cut off from everyone with no way to communicate for help. Jeff Lemire brings his signature elements of horrifying despair to a new publisher that sells directly to consumers. All alone in the void of space, every adult is dead, how are the children supposed to survive? Find out in Sentient from TKO Presents.
