In the foreward of this first volume of Revival, Jeff Lemire writes:

You can only discover your favorite new comic once, so savor it.

And I'm thinking, "Dude, I read Saga." What beats that, right?

Well, nothing, but Revival matches it in its own way. Though it might sound like a zombie comic, it is very, very much not, and in a way that is very good (say more than that would mean so many spoilers). The only mark against it (and incidentally, the same mark the first volume of Saga got) is an unnecessary use of the r-word. Otherwise it would be five stars. 

I really wanted to write a good, detailed review for this because holy fuck, it's awesome. Of course, then I came down with a cold, and it's vicious, and I can barely focus on words right now. I'll put this here as a placeholder, in the hopes that eventually I'll be able to write something longer. But seriously, this was so good. If you want some sci fi starring a female character, but David Weber is too infodumpy for you and Ann Aguirre uses too many romance tropes, then this is probably what you're looking for.
