Customer Reviews
For me, the best aspect of RASL #1 is the tactile, visceral way in which Jeff Smith depicts his lead character’s sci-fi adventures. This process of hopping between alternate dimensions–it hurts like hell. It takes a toll. RASL straps on these outlandish rocket-like tubes, along with a mask that makes his face look like a manhole cover, and he slams his way through these unseen metagalactic barriers; on the page, it feels like using a hammer to execute quantum physics, and it’s enormously powerful. I’m very excited to see where this story goes but even moreso, I’m excited to explore RASL’s life and world, and to see this dynamic of excruciating fantastical science fiction taken to whatever its logical extreme might be.
