REVIEW: 'Corollary' #3 by Adam Rose and Robert Ahmad

 

COROLLARY #3

Writer: Adam Rose

Artist: Robert Ahmad

Publisher: Source Point Press

Release Date: June 22, 2022

Cover Price: $3.99

After saving the Sentient Moon Modus Ghar's twin brother by enacting the same procedure that saved Andromeda, the body-swapping twins make a discovery that changes everything. The transferring process that enables them to swap between Cass' human body and the ship's life-support system degrades with each use. With only a couple of switches left, the sisters need to make a PERMANENT decision: body... or ship?

Score:

★★★★☆ (4/5)

For most new series in their opening arc, comics can be made or broken by issue three or four. It's usually the point readers will decide if they're going to stick with a title. Something impactful should happen that alters the plot in a significant way in order to not only hold the reader's interest but advance the storyline. It's something that 'Corollary' #3 by Adam Rose and Robert Ahmad are well aware of because a lot happens, and life-changing choices and consequences hang in the balance. 

There's always been this impending escalation in the series as twins Andromeda and Cass try to free their parents from imprisonment while selling the lie that there can be a surviving twin if one dies. In this world Adam Rose has established, the universe is balanced in pairs, twin beings, twin moons, twin stars, etc. If one should die then they both die. However, the galaxy is all the rage over Andromeda's survival. It's led to questions, fascination, invitations, skepticism, and all kinds of unexpected attention. In issue three, a lot of these concerns are addressed jeopardizing everything. 

Rose cleverly and efficiently juggles the deception, the fallout, and the resolution. Just when you think the twins have driven themselves into a corner, they use their smarts to escape a worse fate. Rose and Ahmad have created a unique sci-fi experience with fantastical character designs and larger-than-life moments that really drive the plot. It's a satisfying adventure with likable leads and engaging action.

The latest example is the excellent new series from James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds entitled 'The Department of Truth' that's been a bestseller for Image Comics.
