“CORE EXPOSED”Outer space, the far future. A lone seed ship, the Sidonia, plies the void, ten centuries since the obliteration of the solar system. The massive, nearly indestructible, yet barely sentient alien life formsthat destroyed humanity’s home world continue to pose an existential threat.Nagate Tanikaze has only known life in the vessel’s bowels deep below the sparkling strata where humans have achieved photosynthesis and new genders. Not long after he emerges from the Underground, however, the youth is bequeathed a treasured legacy by the spaceship’s coolheaded female captain.
“Tsutomu Nihei has been knocking on America’s door for ages now. Tokyopop released his ten-volume epic “Blame!,” pronounced “blam” like a gunshot, and its prequel, “Noise” in the United States. In 2006, he earned a coveted spot in the amazingly awesome (and financially successful) “Halo Graphic Novel,” standing shoulder to shoulder with superstar artists like Moebius, Simon Bisley, and Geof Darrow, among others. ” – Comics Alliance“One of Knights of Sidonia’s chief strengths is that it doesn’t bog down the intrigue of its world with too much unnecessary, bloated dialogue…It’s definitely a solid pick-up for Vertical; there’s not really anything else in their catalog like it. Dig into the first volume and see if Nihei’s gorgeously depicted wreck of a sci-fi future doesn’t secure an immediately tight grip.” – Otaku USA“Knights of Sidonia is off to a solid start with its first volume…All in all it’s a promising and entertaining offering and one that’s left me chomping at the bit for the next volume.” – Comic Book Resources
