Traveling to Mars Hc

hilarious social satire, mixed with poignant and beautiful meditations on the meaning of life and the value of leaving a lasting legacy after. Russell is joined on this book by Roberto Meli, an up-and-coming talent in the world of comics. He does an admirable job in capturing the feel of this book, and I’m very excited to see where his career goes from here.–BiffBamPop.com
An intensely personal and honest story born from frustrated anxiety over the easy choices for a better future that society continues not to make. There’s catharsis in this very smart and well-done comic, and I can’t recommend it enough. Verdict: Buy–ComicsBeat.com
It’s beautiful. It’s smart and intelligent, quirky and humorous. It delicately holds all those wonderful nuances fans of Russell’s writing will quickly recognize, but it all feels elevated as if it were dogma. The art is equally brilliant.–blakesbuzz.substack.com
Mark Russell is the consistent satirist in mainstream comics right now, and Traveling to Mars turns his jaundiced eye on space travel in a bleakly funny subversion of the genre. Space travel is founded on optimism, the model established by editor John W. Campbell where capable white men go to space for the betterment of Mankind. Russell turns that completely on its head. Score: 8⁄10–BleedingCool.com
The creative team nailed this one. Thoughtful, meaningful, caring story with space travel with inventible twists and turns coming in future issues.–capesandtights.com
Traveling to Mars #1 delivers a story of reflection. I’m positive we’re going to see a lot of surprises as the story progresses as Livingstone reflects on life and deals with his new robot friends. This feels like a series that’s going to not just deliver some laughs but also very well might tug at heart strings. Story: 8.25 Art: 8.25 Overall: 8.25 Recommendation: Buy–GraphicPolicy.com
When Mark Russell is writing the story you know you’ll be getting deep and well-thought-out themes, often with well-placed humor. Traveling to Mars delivers on this and then some. If you’re a fan of The Martian or Not All Robots, then you’ll want to check out Traveling to Mars #1. Rating: 8.5 out of 10–youpromisedmecomics.com
