Book Review: Undertow vol #1


Book: Undertow volume #1: Boatman's Call (issues #1-6) by Steve Orlando with illustrations by Artyom Trakhanov

Source: Borrowed from Publisher/NetGalley for an honest review

Publication: Available now

Description:

Join Redum Anshargal's crew, escape Atlantis's stranglehold, and explore the savage surface world!
Through a stampede of humans, warlike crustaceans, and an ice-road Mammoth hunt, the team comes face-to-face with the Amphibian, the creature that might be the key to a life on land. They expected a beast; they found a mad barbarian god!


Rating: 1 star (Did Not Finish)

Review:

This was so boring that I stopped reading it. It centers on a group of Atlanteans who have left the underwater life. According to the story, Atlantis predates human civilization as they attempt to figure out a way to live on land.

I found this story to be very slow moving and uninteresting. The artwork was a little rough and it was hard to distinguish between some of the characters.

The premise seems like this would be an incredibly fun and entertaining story but with too much going on and dull and boring writing I just couldn't read any more of this.
