Earthdivers #1 Kindle & comiXology

by Stephen Graham Jones (Author), Davide Gianfelice (Artist), Joana Lafuente (Colorist) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 119 ratings
Stephen Graham Jones—New York Times bestselling author of The Only Good Indians and My Heart is a Chainsaw—makes his ongoing comics debut with Earthdivers! The year is 2112, and it’s the apocalypse exactly as expected: rivers receding, oceans rising, civilization crumbling. Humanity has given up hope, except for a group of outcast Indigenous survivors who have discovered a time travel portal in a cave in the middle of the desert and figured out where the world took a sharp turn for the worst: America. Convinced that the only way to save the world is to rewrite its past, they send one of their own on a bloody, one-way mission back to 1492 to kill Christopher Columbus before he reaches the so-called New World. But taking down an icon is no easy task, and his actions could prove devastating for his friends in the future. Join Stephen Graham Jones and artist Davide Gianfelice for Earthdivers #1, the beginning of an unforgettable ongoing historical/sci-fi slasher!

    I chose to rate this first issue of Earthdivers as 5 out of 5 Stars because the story is compelling and the artwork is absolutely stunning.
    I am a fan of everything Stephen Graham Jones writes.
    I love the idea that stopping Columbus from "discovering" the "New World" would have stopped colonization. It is an extremely interesting thought experiment.
    I can't wait to read the test of this graphic novel series.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A great start to a new series!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2022

    Earthdivers is part of IDWs attempt to branch out after the loss of comic licenses such as Ghostbusters and transformers! As someone who hasn’t really read either of these comic series (and I’ve only half watched the Transformers movies because of Megan Fox) this doesn’t mean too much to me besides indicating that we’ll get some really interesting comics from a place that already has a good track record picking out things that most people like!

    I think its nice that we have Arca and Earthdivers by the same publishers. While Arca is take on those who leave, Earthdivers focuses on those who stay. (Did you get the Elena Ferrante reference?)

    Earthdivers is about a group of indigenous survivors who come up with a plan to save the earth by rewriting history to stop the United States from coming into existence. As one of them goes back to the past and tries to change things, the others await the consequences of his actions in the future.

    As with any graphic novel, you have to comment on the art, which I just loved! The story itself in this book (it is 35 pages) isn’t much. You get the basic premise and that there will be major hurdles to this plan (and it does get dark); beyond that they can’t do much because of the length. It was enough to get me intrigued, and I ended up purchasing the second part from amazon (via Comixology).

    As an adult I’ve stayed away from things involving time travel, I’ve always felt like I wouldn’t vibe with that category (so no Doctor Who or Outlander), but Earthdivers makes me feel as though I should give this genre a try! As someone who did love Time Squad, I will say this is like a grown up dark version of Time Squad where they can only save the world by undoing the creation of a country.

    The start of what I know will be a wonderful series. Stephen Graham Jones has created such an interesting story about what would happen if the world could be saved by going back in time and killing Christopher Columbus before he discovered America. WHAT?! I am here for this story through and through. Jones has quickly established great characters. And the illustrations?? THE COLORING?! It's just an incredible piece of work already and I can't wait for the next issue!

    The otter is called Oshan in Choctaw. They’re special to me, though I’ve only met a couple once in our homelands. They were playing in an unnamed creek on my running path, amidst switch cane and other spring shawwa-shrubs along the creek bank. What is it called in Lakota, Blackfeet? I wonder how their otter will come to face the lost Italian.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling Start to a Fascinating Alternative History Series
    Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2022
    An intriguing start to what promises to be a border-pushing comic series, Earthdivers #1 throws readers right into the action of this new world and shows them the importance of what's at stake within the first few panels.

    Set a century or so into the future where climate change has devastated the world and the wealthy and elite abandon the planet for other sanctuaries outside of Earth's orbit, Jones introduces us to a group of Native American characters who seek to go back in time to stop Christopher Columbus from ever discovering North America and the 'New World' in general, therefore staving off the eventual Industrial Revolution that led to the modern-day climate catastrophe of the comic. How do they do this? Simple--they found a cave near Monument Valley before the action on the page starts, and they send one of their group through it and to the shipyards where Columbus's ships wait before setting sail in 1492.

    This first issue has everything you want in an introductory issue--an engaging and quick hook, beautiful artwork, crisp and realistic dialogue, and lots of action. While it takes a few pages to truly get a grasp on what's going on--there are parts where we flip back and forth from the future present to the alternative past to the point where the transitions are jarring and seem a bit sudden--the action and overall plot of the story is well established by the time the first five pages passes, and we watch as one of the characters has to kill and then impersonate a sailor to get on board one of Columbus's three ships.

    I was surprised at how utterly dark this first issue was, and I mean that in a good way--Jones writes the main character to be realistic in his situation and scenario to the point of killing innocent bystanders, and, over the course of a 30-page comic, ponders deep philosophical questions, such as is it more important to sacrifice an individual for a greater good, or is every life equal and worthy of protection? There is harm to a younger character in the closing pages as well that introduces us readers to the idea that the main character sent back in time will be heartless when needed, and I'm glad Jones chose to adopt a more mature, realistic tone to the comic rather than 'Marvelizing' it, which, given the subject matter of this series, would ring incredibly hollow.

    Everything about the art as well, from the illustrations themselves to the coloring, lettering, and inking, is spot on, and it adds both texture and depth to the overall narrative. I never struggled to understand the action taking place on the page, and the colors are both muted and beautiful at appropriate times, enhancing the overall mood of the issue itself.

    This is a great start to what promises to be a controversial and thrilling series. When it was first announced that Jones was writing a comic series that sought to kill Christopher Columbus and prevent America from ever having been founded in the first place, I knew it would rankle a certain set of the American population, but I'm here for all of it and more. Native American themes, tribal identities, and issues are touched on briefly throughout the first issue, and I hope Jones dives more into those as the story goes on, especially in the future present storyline of the series. I will be ordering each individual issue as they come out now, and I'm hoping this series continues to get better and better as we discover more about each character and the new reality being formed in the alternative past!
