Critics Review

“The Adventures of Lumen N is exactly what the title says… bold adventure that shines. James Robinson and Phil Hester with Marc Deering offer up a world and story filled with compelling characters and strange machines. It propels you along at a breathless pace like the best adventure comics should. Bill Crabtree’s colors are a perfect match to the art and Jim Campbell’s diverse, cherry-on-top lettering enhances. It all engages beautifully.”—J H Williams III (Echolands, Promethea, Batwoman)“James Robinson and Phil Hester are established masters of their crafts, and LUMEN is a perfect vehicle for their talents. James’ genre influences have always run deep, and here he returns some of the original pulp excitement to comics, using an array of classic literary adventure characters, revolving around an inventive new take on Captain Nemo. The fun of seeing Robinson and Hester construct this new universe from the ashes of an older one is only elevated by the title heroine. Anyone familiar with Robinson’s much missed LEAVE IT TO CHANCE will remember his affinity for sharing the adventures of a bold young heroine, and will surely fall in love with Lumen and the fascinating world she inhabits. Another reminder from Robinson that comics can be fun and smart!”—B. Clay Moore (Hawaiian Dick)
