Review: THIS BOOK IS AMAZING. The colour usage is incredible! Comic books always waste their potential by not recognisig that colour itself can tell a story and LOW does exactly that!! The review about too much colour having negative impact in the ability to follow along is ridiculous. This comic exceeded all my expectations. I could understand everything that was happening in each panel. I HIGHLY recommend comic book fans to give this a read for the art work alone.

Review: "LOW Volume 1" is based around such an amazing concept that I was so excited to read about: what happens to the human race when our sun turns into a red giant. With the human race living deep under the ocean (or LOW), running out of clean air, their only hope for survival is to search for a new planet that can support life. However the idea is let down significantly by both the art work, which at times is near impossible to tell what is going on, and the story line, which sometimes sees characters doing things that are not very believable. Another flaw with the story is that I do not feel a strong bond to any of the characters at the moment, in a way that if any of them were to die, I would be unmoved. There is one more slight redeeming quality of the comic: Optimism. It is not often I have read so much optimism radiating from one character, Stel. Her outlook on life is to always hope and believe that everything will work out well in the end, not dwelling on depressing thoughts. I found this to be a breath of fresh air throughout the comic and is something I have tried to translate in my own life; to keep happy thoughts in my mind and not negative. This quality is not enough alone however for me to form a bond with her. So the question is: will I read the next volumes? Yes. I am still hanging to the hope that the concept will pull the future volumes into something better and will develop the characters into people I begin to care about. With regards to the art work, I guess I can continue to put up with the confusing panels which I will have to study for a few minutes until I understand what is going on.
