LOW from Image Comics by Remender, Tocchini, et al

0

Hi everyone!

 

I'm new to the boards. Well, I've actually been lurking for quite a while, and even made an account in the past year, but never had the confidence to actually post. I've never actually participated in a forum discussion in my life and so don't know what to expect. Guess I wanted to avoid potential embarrassment. I am happy though that I decided to change my mind and see how I could help in discussions!

 

I've been anticipating Low #1 since the announcement. I love science fiction, and yet nothing beats the mystery of the ocean floor. In my wait I've found various retailer exclusives (I just don't know how to post images):

 

Newbury Comics

 

The Comic Bug

 

Forbidden Planet/Jetpack Comics

 

San Diego Comic Con

 

Any guesses if there will be more to follow in the next few days?

With the release date mere hours away and all the covers revealed, I'm curious to know each member's favorite. I personally like the Newbury Comics one the most, followed by The Comic Bug's. Then again, I restrict my choice of cover until I have read the issue in full.

The Authority, I believe the one you like is the SDCC one, yes?

Finally got around to reading the preview exclusive from SDCC. Loved the art and am very, very intrigued as to where this story is going. Looking forward to issue 2.

Also, almost every copy I looked at for this book (went through about 100 copies in 3 days, and just stopped trying to find a good copy after that) had printing defects on the front cover. Looked like someone chewed up the middle of the page. With only 500 copies, this is going to be a hard book to find in high grade.

Correctamundo ( I miss Fonzie )' I think it looks fantastic but I would be very happy with most of these covers. I've managed to get only 1 SDCC cover and I feel very lucky to have that ( thank you friend ) .

The Newbury variant is just awesome.

Apparently have a SDCC cover coming, but I much prefer this. Just got in and ordered mine.

This read like Saga underwater, I'm in (thumbs u

Sogga ?

I think the Newbury looks creepy to me really.(Not in a scary way either.)

Ive not seen one I really like yet, but the story intrigues me and for once apparently the art in one his books is good.

Reminds me of BioShock!

Well Larry, if anyone deserves to take a beating, you get my vote.

 

And if owning three copies of this book means I "have an interest", then I guess you are right for the first time today. Congratulations!

Will be tough to find 9.8's, cover has same issue that Southern Bastards had, small creases on cover.

Loves this first issue. Didn't waste any time jumping right into action. The art was. Freaking. Awesome.

My first thought when I saw the cover to #1 and read the synopsis (it's like you read my mind)

I thought the story was great, but we are going to have to disagree on the art very disappointing.

Loved the art here as well. Perfect balance of spelling things out while still leaving the finer details to the imagination

I do like the Newbury Comic Variant

I loved the story and 90% of the art. Some of the pages seemed a little distorted but I think that was intentional so I can live with it. What I can't live with is that someone mentioned that there were similarities in reference to damaged covers like we experienced with Southern Bastards. I bought a few copies and sure enough, heavy indent ones on the back. That will teach me to trust an already bagged book.

Ah, but the story is off to such a great start, I'm going to pretend I didn't see the dings.

I really enjoyed it too. The story was intriguing and it seemed jam packed for a first issue.

I 100% agree on the art. Some of it was odd, but I think that was intentional. It had a neat style and look.

The bigger surprise is the buzz surrounding a Remender story. It seemed like everyone was hating on him following his Cap debacle. This was a good book though and I enjoyed it.
