Invisible Kingdom, Vol. 1: Walking the Path

A very, very rare DNF on a comix! But I just couldn't do it. I picked this up since it won the Eisner for best graphic novel or comic series or something. I read the first two issues. The dialogue, plotting, and characterization all felt ham-fisted. Like, the evil Mother Superior, the “deep state”-type conspiracy, the Han Solo/Firefly motley crew spaceship, etc. The only thing I liked was that this far future envisioned us still being trapped in a materialist/consumerist nightmare monopolized by Amazon “Lux”.

Saga remains the space opera to beat!
