Orbiter

Summary: A look into the future
Review: While one reviewer has bitterly and unfairly condemned this book for being released near the time of the Columbia disaster, this is a completely unfair criticsm. Not only was this book announced nearly a year prior to the tragedy, but the solicitation for the book appeared a week before the event and this book is in no way an attempt to ride on the back of this unfortunate event.

Cynics out there are not only uninformed, but unfair.

Orbiter is a delight and a must read for the forward thinking and visionary space exploration enthusiast, especially those who have been cynical about whether or not SF can be executed with distinction in comics. A likable cast of characters teams together to discover what made a shuttle mission go awry and what made the shuttle return after ten years of absence with only one remaining crew member.

An optimistic and well-executed book, Orbiter is beautiful and utterly enjoyable.
