 4/5

THE GODS ARE ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL… …AND THE GODS ARE ALWAYS DEAD.

Captain Malik and the crew of the spaceship the Vihaan II are in search of the only resources that matter – and can only be found by harvesting the giant corpses of alien gods that are found on the edge of human space. While other autopsy ships and explorers race to salvage the meat, minerals, and metals that sustain the human race, Malik sees an opportunity to finally break free from this system: by being the first to find a living god.

But Malik’s obsession with the gods will push his crew into the darkest reaches of space, bringing them face to face with a threat unlike anything they ever imagined, unless the rogue agent on their trail can stop them first…

Superstars Al Ewing (Immortal Hulk) and Simone Di Meo (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) present a new sci-fi epic about the search for meaning and the hard choices we make to find it, no matter the cost to the world – or universe – around us.

Collects We Only Find Them When They’re Dead #1-5.

We Only Find Them When They’re Dead is an excellent name for an indie sci-fi comic, don’t you think? This is a fun book, and not as gory as you might assume from the giant “dead” on the title.

Danny had a lot of fun with this story in episode two of the podcast. She discusses the characters’ interesting names, the merits of going digital instead of printed, and says words like “intriguing” too many times. There are also some cons to this book, and people may find it too confusing at times, but it’s still worth a read.

This is a good one to pick up if you’d like sci-fi in outer space. If you like the show Star Trek: Discovery then you might like this. And if you do decide to read it, what do you think? Does it deserve a place on your shelf?
