Yesssss!

Lemire? Sci-fi? In spaaaace?

Take my money. Just take it now.

[Desaad]

Yeah, this looks great.

My body is ready, Lemire.

[the goddamn batman]

awesome. hard to not trade wait it, though. we'll see.
definitely excited to see more Lemire coming out soon.

[LoneNecromancer]

Inspired by 2001, Arthur C. Clarke and Asimov? Damn, sounds more interesting than most other things I've read by Lemire.

...and am I the only one who thinks Nika Temsmith sounds like a reference to Nikola Tesla?

[Paladin King]

sweet Jebus, I want this and I want it now!

It feels like a hybrid of the more emotional elements of Sweet Tooth with that sci-fi short Lemire did for Strange Adventures. Gimme!

[InformationGeek]

Oh yes! I am ready Lemire! This will be great!

[DaronK]

This sounds pretty awesome. I've yet to try any of Lemire's vertigo or indie work and have been wanting to try it - this looks like just the place for my sensibilities. Anyone else instantly think of The Fountain when they first started reading the description?

If you want to try some Lemire's Vertigo stuff, you should really try reading Sweet Tooth. I'm not normally a fan of these kinds of stories, but this one drew me in, especially with its characters.

I've thought about giving that one a go, and I still might. I'm a bit behind on the series I already read in trade, though. We shall see. I'll definitely give the new one a try, though.

The announcement of this book made me really excited. He knocked it out of the park with the Underwater Welder, and I think this is going to be awesome

[El Sombrero]

I have been disappointed by what I have read from Lemire so far, but this pitch sounds good, and I get the impression he's probably better on creator-owned stuff (I have only read his DC work).

[Volkditty]

I could not possibly be more excited about this project. Anyone who has read his creator-owned stuff (especially the phenomenal Underwater Welder) should know Lemire can do justice to sci-fi and twisting the knife emotionally.

Out of curiosity, what have you read by him so far?

[MartinNL]

Sounds like a great project. I might pick this up in singles, rather than wait for the trade.

You haven't read Sweet Tooth?! Damn, you are missing out!
