The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of ARCHANGEL #1 from IDW Publishing. William Gibson writes, Butch Guice draws, Tom Palmer
inks, Diego Rodriguez colors, and Shawn Lee letters.
Modern-day Earth is in ruins, and humanity’s only hope is
the Splitter, a device which can transport matter into a “habitable alternate
continuum.” But it’s in the hands of Vice President Henderson, who has his own
plans for how to use it. Back at the end of WWII, Naomi is a British operative
who is called in for a UFO sighting. Now she’s in a race to figure out what any
of it means.
The thing I like about this story is that there’s no telling
how Naomi is going to figure this puzzle out. She’s really going to have to
trust the man from the future to get anywhere with it. But what I really like
about this story is that William Gibson has finally ventured into comics
(yay!). And Butch Guice’s art is glorious, as always, with masterful face work
and detailed backgrounds.
This is a story layered with power, lies, mistrust and
fascinating technology. I cannot wait to see where this goes and how it gets
there. Get on board while you can.
