They Fell From The Sky #2

They Fell From The Sky #2 Mad Cave Studios 2021 Written by Liezl Buenaventura Illustrated by Xavier Tárrega Coloured by DJ Chavis Colour Assists by Barry Hall Lettered by Joamette Gil What do you do when you find a crash landed alien in the woods? Well, if you are Tommy Murphy you take it to the vet. After getting discharged, the newly named furry creature, Orion, is ready to discover all of the luxuries this small town has to offer. Can Tommy keep him in check, or is he reaching for the stars? I love a good all-ages story and this one is certainly turning into something akin to Explorers’ and I’m perfectly okay with that.  I mean Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix plus that other kid (Jason Presson) and we’ve got the casting kind of right if not more ethnically diverse here.  Tommy and his attachment to Orion isn’t so odd and I find it actually quite endearing and I hope had I found someone like Orion when I was that age I would have done the exact same thing.  Through there is one thing I think kids do forget about and that’s there’s always someone listening and even though they are generally ignored there’s that one old man who has no business in your business but interferes anyway. I like the way that this is being told.  The story & plot development that we see through how the sequence of events unfold as well as how the reader learns information is presented extremely well.  There are those moments that remind of being a kid and having no cares in the world and then others that remind you someone is always watching and that’s creepy.  The juxtaposition of these things doesn’t go unnoticed.  The character development is interesting and while Tommy and Orion try to communicate and you can literally feel the frustration coming from Orion it’s extremely represented.  Then there’s old Jeb again and he’s the spoiler here, he spoils everything though I would prefer to think of him as the town drunk or hobo, regardless this is one dude who we know instantly.  The pacing that we see is marvellous and as it takes us through the pages revealing more and more of the story we’re enraptured by the events. I am enjoying the way that we see this being structured.  With how we see the layers within the story continue to grow stronger and new ones emerge add those extra dimensions to the story that make it pop.  How we manage to see everything working together to create the story’s ebb & flow is delightful. While the interiors are an all-ages style it is extremely nice to see how backgrounds are incorporated into the book.  They not only enhance the moments, bring this town to life but they show depth perception, a sense of scale and that overall sense of size and scope to the story as seen within the composition of the panels.  The linework is is great and how the varying weights are being utilised to showcase the detail work that we see is marvellous.  The utilisation of the page layouts and how we see the angles and perspective within the panels show a very talented eye for storytelling.  The colour work we see is great!  I like how the various hues and tones within the colour are being utilised to create the shading, highlights and shadow work.  The various techniques for laying colour down are also a highlight for me to see. ​ What boy, or girl for that matter, hasn’t wished for something like this to happen to them?  An alien that looks like a pet crash lands and you save them hopefully bonding in the process and helping them survive.  Also I love the fact that Captain Dirk is Captain of his starship and it is who Tommy seems to admire most in this world.  This is so well told and so enjoyable and is something the entire family can enjoy.

Review: They Fell From the Sky #1

They Fell From the Sky #1 might seem familiar but its small details makes it stand out #Comics #ComicBooks

There’s nothing particularly unique so far about They Fell From the Sky #1. But, it’s a solid debut that has me wanting to come back for more. The story is a bit of a mix between Galaxy Quest and E.T. but it’s the small details of the series that makes it stand out. Written by Liezl Buenaventura, the story revolves around Tommy, a young kid bullied at school and dealing with family drama. He and…

Of All The Farms In Boonville: ‘They Fell From the Sky’ #1 Advance Review

Loving a sci-fi show doesn’t necessarily prepare you for a UFO crash landing in your backyard but that’s exactly what happens to Tommy in They Fell from the Sky #1. What makes They Fell from the Sky a special first issue is the fact that, even if an alien had never showed up, this would still be an excellent series (and the alien doesn’t show up until the end so if writer, Liezl Buenaventura,…

They Fell From The Sky #5

They Fell From The Sky #5 Mad Cave Studios 2021 Written by Liezl Buenaventura Illustrated by Xavier Tarrega Coloured by DJ Chavis Lettered by Joamette Gil    Everything comes to a head when the Ker royal family joins the fray. Old secrets come to light, and Orion’s past finally catches up with him. After the dust settles, will there be anything left of Boonville to save?    This is an absolutely delightful series. ��It is an all-ages title and there is a moral to the story or lessons to be learned which just makes it more endearing in my humble opinion.  Also it’s about the power of friendship and how when you've got your friends by your side anything is possible.  So yeah I personally think that there isn’t a reader out there who won’t find a way to connect with this story on a personal level.  I also greatly appreciate that we see this whole it doesn’t matter who you are and if you are different or not there’s always a place for you with the friends that you make.  Liezl has done a beautiful job of making this a truly extraordinary all-ages title so that adults will see what kids don’t and kids will take away their own aspects of the story.    I am a huge fan of the way that this is being told.  The story & plot development that we see through how the sequence of events unfold as well as how the reader learns information is presented exceptionally well.  The character development that we see through the dialogue, the character interaction as well as how they act and react to the situations and circumstances that they encounter is utterly magnificent.  The pacing is superb and as it takes us through the pages revealing more and more of the story to the big finish we’re thrilled right up to the end.      I am very much enjoying how we see this being structured and how the layers within the story continue to grow, evolve and strengthen.  The layers of course contain the strongest bits of characterisation along with the plot twists and revelations some of which work with the main arc others simply swirl around it and all of them add depth and complexity to the story.  How everything works together to create the story’s ebb & flow as well as how it moves the story forward is achieved extremely well.    The interiors here really are charming.  The linework is great and how we see the varying weights being utilised to create the detail work is fantastic!  I absolutely love how we see backgrounds being utilised throughout and to see them work within the composition of the panels to bring out the depth perception, sense of scale and the overall sense of size and scope of the story is utterly marvellous.  The creativity and imagination that we see throughout is fantastic and I love seeing these animal inspired aliens in the suits, it’s really kind of cute.  The utilisation of the page layouts and how we see the angles and perspective in the panels show a remarkably talented eye for storytelling.  The colour work is superb.  The various hues and tones within the colours being utilised to create the shading, highlights and shadow work show a great eye for how colour works.    I like that Jeremy is their new friend and while once school starts up again this may change for now he’s a part of the gang and he did help them, and especially Jeb, during all of this so see even a bully needs to find friends who won’t judge them.   ​    Mad Cave Studios has earned mad respect from me.  They’ve not tried to flood the market with books instead they take time to make sure the books are quality and have some gravitas to them.  With some exceptional writing and characterisation wrapped up in these charming interiors this series can keep coming back time and again and I doubt we’d ever get bored.
