Books like Low, Vol. 3: Shore of the Dying Light

Well I finally read a volume of Low I enjoyed (3.5 stars worth) and read excitedly. I'm thinking, with my Preacher experience, that I'll like this series when I can reread several volumes at once and see the larger story arc. Because Remender really is becoming one of my favorite authors. For me it's the story that's fascinating, the sci-fi thriller, but everything else suffers. I've read a few thousand pages of Remender now and this isn't his best work. Characterization, dialog, all need some work. I can't pinpoint what it is exactly other than that. The plot isn't even that big compared to Fear Agent. I dunno. But it's what the characters do, looking for a new world, trying to reunite, that kept me reading. Greg Tocchini and Dave McCaig finally grew on me this volume with illustrations and colors. It's still muddy sometimes, that's just the nature of watercolor, but damn, some of this stuff is beautiful, and the colors are insane. Like whole chapters in yellow or red. You really are immersed in the world building. So not Remender's best work, but it's totally worth a read (and reread). I will say that the artwork is awesome and will look incredible oversized.
