Great issue! I enjoy the "hard" science fiction take very much. Great job of creating interesting characters in a first issue as well.

Off Topic: JB, I know you have talked about doing 4 issue mini-series with many of your creations. Do you have any one issue ideas we might be seeing in the near future?•• IDW prefers the four issue "package" as it makes a nice trade paperback. I suppose I could do a one-issue tale -- provided I did three more! An Omnibus, basically.

Fantastic issue.
I loved the art. Especially some of the inking with the Vatican evacuation and the scream of Yulia when the station explodes and the final two pages. The story is gripping too. I'm very curious to see where everything goes. The huge solar flare reminds me of the Larry Niven sort story "Inconstant Moon" but taken in an entirely different direction. Great stuff.
Bravo.

I'm reading Benning as a Richard Branson sort of character.
Great first issue.

Like others here, I reread the first issue (last night), and enjoyed it even more
the second time. I'm looking forward to the next issue!

I'm pretty sure Earth is dead.

I'm pretty sure Earth is dead.•• Well, most of it. But the old girl has come back from some pretty serious catastrophes in her 4.5 billion years!

hadn't thought of it quite that way, JB, but it's a good point. i guess *every* environment on earth supports life of some type. thanks!

One of my favorites I saw on a show about evolution, a few years back. Touching on the astonishing adaptability of life, the film crew visited a cave in Mexico where sulfuric acid literally drips from the ceiling and forms pools on the floor. Not only are there microorganisms living on the waxy stalactites that ooze from the ceiling, but there a fish swimming and thriving in the acid pools. Acid so powerful it eats away the protective clothing of researchers who go into the cave!
