Earthdivers, Vol. 1
Earthdivers, Vol. 1 | Stephen Jones
1 post | 3 read | 1 to read
For the good of the future, Christopher Columbus must die. Join Stephen Graham Jones--New York Times best-selling author of The Only Good Indians and My Heart Is a Chainsaw--as he 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 Indigenous outcasts who have discovered a time travel portal in a cave in the desert and figured out where everything took a 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--a reluctant linguist named Tad--on a bloody, one-way mission to 1492 to kill Christopher Columbus before he reaches the so-called New World. But there are steep costs to disrupting the timeline, and taking down an icon isn't an easy task for an academic with no tactical training and only a wavering moral compass to guide him. As the horror of the task ahead unfolds and Tad's commitment is tested, his actions could trigger a devastating new fate for his friends and the future. Join Stephen Graham Jones and artist Davide Gianfelice for Earthdivers, Vol. 1, the beginning of an unforgettable ongoing sci-fi slasher spanning centuries of America's Colonial past to explore the staggering forces of history and the individual choices we make to survive it.

This was a fascinating story. The year is 2112, the apocalypse has happened, and earth is either flooded or completely dry. A group of four find a magic cave. It allows them to travel back in time. They are of Indian nations, who believe the best way to save their people and their country is to go back in time and kill Columbus. Seth Grimm Jones writes stories that keep you thinking and staying in your mind for a long time.

LibrarianRyan His debut graphic novel is no different. There are times I wish this was a full novel, but it is superb. It is violent and bloody and gory because it is horror, but done as only South Graham Jones can do. 13mo
TieDyeDude Nice. This series was a blind purchase just because it's Graham. I can't wait to dig into it! 13mo
