Rick Remender has been on quite the hot streak lately between his Image hits like Black Science and Deadly Class and his monumental announcement of Sam Wilson taking over the role of Captain America. He’s also penning Marvel’s next big crossover, Axis. That he’s found time in between all of that to team up with artist Greg Tocchini for a book like Low is astounding.
Low is a book readers should go into as blind as possible. Doing so makes the twists and turns of its first issue all the more surprising and enjoyable. At play in Low’s first issue is complex and intriguing worldbuilding and precise, emotional character work. Remender has found a way to play up both of these without having one take a backseat. You’re on this journey with real people, not hollow storytelling vessels, from the moment they’re introduced.
