“Our destiny is the stars, and I will lead us there.” Twenty years after this promise, billionaire Langford Skaargard’s dream of cosmic exploration is no more. Roche Limit, a colony situated on the cusp of a mysterious energy anomaly, is a melting pot of crime and terrible secrets. When Bekkah Hudson goes missing, the search to find her will plunge her sister and a cadre of the colony’s underworld figures into an odyssey that reveals a grim future for mankind.
Blending 2001 with Blade Runner, Roche Limit is the first part of a bold sci-fi/noir trilogy.

Could have been worse. Does the author know ANYthing about highschool level science?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

the physics here are ridiculous! There is a 2-page spread on pages 6 and 7 the states that terra-forming mission to Andromeda discovered a planet with the surface area of India. Alright, first of all, does the writer realize that Andromeda is a GALAXY not a solar system? And that even if you could fly at light speed, you could get there in a human life span? Not even if you fly at huge multiples of light speed. Now, secondly, a planetoid with the surface area of India would have very little gravity. But the shlubbs in this comic seem to have Earth-normal gravity. This 2-page spread also states that the planetoid has an atmosphere rich with CO2, it is uninhabitable to humans. Well it's really hard to have CO2 without plant life. Early atmosphere on Earth were rich in METHANE and a few other unbreathable poisonous gasses. CO2 would be NICE. You plant some greenery that can live on old-fashioned rock and sand. You'd have a nice breathable atmosphere yr grandkid could snort. The art is kinda cartoony, and the colorist couldn't have been paid much--but it's adequate. I expected more for the price, but what can ya do? Likewise with the writing.

A bit confusing, but a great doorway to an interesting universe.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 8, 2015

Very interesting story, definitely a unique concept, with some characters that could really go a long way. The presentation, both in artwork and concept is wonderful, with scientific journal type sections and other things you wouldn't expect perhaps in a medium like this. I'm curious to see the next installment and if it follows with threads from this or if it will be a standalone entity. As it stands this book could probably be a standalone, and opened the possibility for a lot of different story arcs. Class society, murder, space exploration, and the borders and barriers of man and his intellect and ego. A little bit confusing at times, but worth more than one read. The next book definitely needs more clarity and a little more structure, but much like some first episodes of a successful TV show (The Americans comes to mind for me) there has to be some setup and establishment.

This might have been a great story when it was being dreamed up...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 5, 2015

Roche Limit has a commendable plot and good enough art to stay on my bookshelf. While I found the writing, particularly the dialogue, a bit weak, almost unnatural at times, I really did like the premise and setting, the science fiction behind it all. The characters were not the most interesting, and I wasn't entirely thrilled or moved at any one point, I honestly didn't build any "relationships" with the characters, or didn't care too much for them, but the science fiction, the narrative and premise made up for any short coming in character. I thought the art was good in most places, but also too simple at times. All that criticism aside, I still enjoyed the book, and I will pick up the next volume.

Pretty but empty

One of the prettiest books you'll ever read. Some fun dialogue and well-developed characters. But the story just kinda petered out and took some turns seemingly out of nowhere. It felt like there was an issue or two that were missing.

I got this for some good sci find graphic novel reading because everyone online raved about the story but the writing was jolty, cliche and bland and the art was mediocre so I don't really see the hype

Arrived in excellent condition, on time and it's a great read. The story is intriguing and the artwork is incredible. I recommend this collection as one of the best recent series I've read.

Roche Limit - The limits of humanity.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 29, 2015

Verified Purchase

The plot evolves around a new earth settlement called "Roche Limit" - and it delves into just that; the limit of humanity and it's aspiring visions and ideas. The settlement was built as a first step for man to expand throughout the universe, but admittedly, nothing goes as planned.

In Roche Limit, we follow the story of a woman trying to find her missing sister, all the while she runs into a charming man that seems to know everything there is to know about this place.

The comic makes clever use of what seems as flashbacks with slight thought provoking philosophic tones. The story and the characters are both positive forces with underlying solid writing and beautifully drawn.

If you're interested in a science fiction crime novel running at a good pace, this is a good choice.

Like with others before

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 17, 2015

I am a big fan of Image comics, and bought this one without reading the reviews. Like with others before, I was not disappointed. Great 'single shot' graphic novel volume, interesting plot - only downside is that it is too short, only one volume!
A continuation is mentioned on the end page, but it is meant to explore a different story.

The story in brief is about dreams, their extent and where they can lead the individuals, and how hard people can crash once the dream is confronted with reality. In this case a space mining colony is confronted with a mysterious anomaly in space, and as Earth slowly severs ties with it, the residents need to take care of their own problems facing many dangers.
