Outer Darkness is like taking Star Trek, Aliens, and a bunch of insane backstabbing characters, and mix it all together with a lot of humor. The results? Pretty freaking great.

This is my first Layman book and I have to say, it was really enjoyable. Over the top for sure with a crew of crazy fucks on a mission to retrieve something. Our main hero is not a likable captain but he won't fail his mission. The crew is absurd, with so many clashing personalities you have to wonder how they survive past day 1. Together they must go forward in their quest but when they crash land, things start going wrong fast.

A bloody, humorous, crazy balls to the wall action sci-fi, adventure. I really was taken by surprise of how fucked up and gory some deaths here were. But also the pacing is near perfect with plenty of great action moments and laugh out loud moments. It did take me a bit to get used to the flow and characters so the first two issues were jarring but once I did, pure delight. A 4 out of 5.
