    Sarah is AMAZING! Tellos is solid. Added Infinite Loop and Paybacks to my wish list.
    A hidden gem for me is Invisible Republic from Image by Gabriel Hardman, Corinna Bechko and Jordan Boyd. It's a thriller/mystery following a reporter from Earth who goes to Mars to write a story after the rebel leader who took control and seceded from the Earth government dies. There is chaos from the government falling apart and Earth forces reclaiming the planet. He gets hunted by government agents and freedom fighters both to hide the truth of how a "terrorist" came to power and shook up all aspects of this future government.

    Holy crap, Tellos! I haven't though of that comic in so long, so good! I haven't considered Sara to be a hidden gem because that's what turned me onto TKO.

    • @NearMintCondition

    @serbiansauvage 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I am so glad Omar finally spoke about The Paybacks. He was the one who introduced me to Buzzkill, and since the stories are connected it frustrated me so much that he never mentioned this book. Fun fact: There is an easter egg/surprise appearance from a character of Ghost Fleet in this book as well. All three of these books are written by Donny Cates, so I think that might have had something to do with it ;).

    • @NearMintCondition

    Great hidden Gems this month!
    HERO is fantastic, the art is overwhelming. TELLOS was a must read just because Mike Wieringo, but all this fantasy stuff really turn me off. SARA is on my waiting list for so long that I'm gonna push it forward right now. I'm adding Infinite Loop and The Paybacks on the list, thank you so much.
    I just finished KILLADELPHIA, it's definitely a good recommendation for everyone 👍

    Hmmm, I could swear that Sara and Sentient was going to be released in hardcovers later this year, but can't find anything about it. Is my old brain making up stuff again? I want those. Great mix of genres fantasy, greek mythology, melanie, super heroes and war :D .... oh, about war stories, someone needs to sign Sabaton to do their songs into comics, they do so much research into them. Then give me a cent or two for the suggestion :)
