Everything has a beginning, including the Extinctioners series. This is it. The art is somewhat different, but that is more due to the fact that this is a FIRST comic and the characters are slightly underdeveloped.
The story in a nutshell: A war ravaged dying human race decided to mix human dna with animal dna to create a race of beings who would colonize a world found through a worm hole, building cities and infrastructure.
Then the Humans would drop by one day and eliminate them all, gaining a ready made world where they could then settle and enjoy life without any of the hard work needed to gain it. I wish I could say the concept was a shock but it wasn't, oh well. Due to a glitch in the wormhole's time distortion, these animals have evolved a high civilization and have come to worship the near forgotten "Makers" as semi-divine.
The stories begin with these Animal-people encountering a probe from Earth via the wormhole, and the humans are just as lovable as they were when they created what they considered a disposable race to settle this world and prepare it for Human habitation. Due to the temporal distortion in the wormhole, these "disposable" animals have become a people in their own right, and a people who don't particularly want to go extinct to provide a dying and degenerate human race a ready made home.
Thus is the Extinctioners story line born. The characters are interesting, believable, and identifiable as people, not story elements. It makes for an excellent read...time after time.
The scanning is excellent, and the stories well done, and DriveThru comics is offering them in a number of formats. I've seen some web-releases of paper comics that lacked things...here, nothing is lacking and the story plus the presentation are both excellent.
