The stories range from mediocre, Holden, to quite good, Amos, yet the art is just really poor. The weird thing is that Danlan seems like a capable artist but it's as if the the whole book just went from pencils to colour seperations without any inking. It makes for these bizarrely thin and lifeless sketches that jar you out of the narrative.
This book collects the four issues of The Expanse: Origins featuring the crew of the Rocinante released as digital comics and adds a new story featuring Josephus Miller written by Hallie Lambert and illustrated by Huang Danlan. Set on Ceres, Miller's backstory feels as gritty as the character we get to know in the books and television series. It's only a brief look at his past, but it's compelling. The art is stark, which is fine for this story, but doesn't really align with the scenery in my head when I read the dialogue. Still, this collection is a nice addition to the Expanse saga.
