Oblivion Song, Vol. 1 by Lorenzo De Felici, Annalisa Leoni, Robert Kirkman
3.0

This was a good opening but I guess I was expecting more.

So we start off with a guy running away from monsters, shooting people, and then everyone teleports back to the real world. We learn that there's another dimension, world, and it took a good amount of our people in a certain event. In this universe the people are hunting by monsters since we are on this world. So it's up to our main hero, Nathan Cole, to go into this universe to save people. His mission? To find his brother Ed...but to what end?

Good: The story is interesting enough. Other dimension stories can fail but here it works well enough. I also think Nathan is a pretty interesting character, dealing with his own set of PTSD as well as most other characters dealing with it. The monsters and designs are pretty unique too.

Bad: Some of the art can be pretty ugly though. Especially when there isn't a lot of movement. The pacing is a bit odd and the story feels like it comes to a full stop at moments.

Overall, it's a good start. Interesting enough to see where the next one goes. A 3-3.5 out of 5.
