While at base value, this could easily just be another mystery (albeit in a unique setting), Kindt elevates the drama by weaving an intricate web of character relationships and providing a compelling narrative using the Mai’s voice. The baseline of this story, while not wholly original, is made impossibly intriguing by the way Kindt writes. This technique makes it easy to follow as the introductions are made and the setting is traipsed through. Each character is visually unique, with a design that seems to echo the character’s personality really well. There are numerous characters introduced, yet there is almost nothing overwhelming about the manner in which it is carried out. This first issue does a beautiful job of setting the scene for the rest of the series. As if her safety isn’t compromised enough by being 20,000 leagues under the sea, Mai has no clue where her trust should lie among the eclectic cast and crew of the underwater research station. Not only must Mai find the truth about a severe incident under the sea, but the crime involves the death of her father.
H follows special investigator Mai as she dives deep underwater and into a hardboiled mystery. H brought you by Matt Kindt, with Sharlene Kindt on colors and Marie Enger on letters.ĭept. Dark Horse has what looks to be the start of a fantastic new series with Dept. The art, the plot, the characters - this is a book that is a master course in story-telling. Everything about his series, like Mind MGMT, submerges you completely into the story within a few pages. That’s usually the experience I have while reading a Matt Kindt book.
