Cosmic Detective follows an unnamed detective as he investigates the murder of a rhubarb… Uh, I mean god-like eternal being. Look, it totally makes sense when you read the book.

The story of Cosmic Detective from Jeff Lemire and Matt Kindt sees that detective get too close to figuring out exactly what happened to that god-like eternal being before everything falls apart. Who are they? What are they doing here? What’s going on?

The artwork in this book was wild. Every time that I flipped the (digital) page, I had no idea what to expect next. David Rubin did an incredible job, and I loved the way that this book looked. The way the gods were portrayed was super cool.

I wanted to check this book out because of the title and the cover. I know that’s common, but I truly do love just blindly picking a comic based on the title and cover. I dove fully into this book without even reading the synopsis, and I was pleasantly rewarded.

I had a lot of fun with this book and think you should check it out if you get the chance. This is the second book from Image Comics that I’ve read lately that I really dug (Do A Powerbomb!).

Thank you Netgalley and Image Comics for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

You can pick up the comic here.
