review 1: I totally devoured this. The art is great and the sci-fi storyline just worked with me. There's no inundation with extra information, even though I'm quite curious about the humans of the 3700s. I didn't feel like it was a love story as much as it was a sci-fi story with characters who just want to know who they are. I also enjoyed the physical aspects of the book. The paper is a non-glossy newsprint and just smells nice. The interactive aspect of having to flip the book over was a cool narrative touch too. If anything, just get it for the art! Four stars because there were a few plot holes/unbelievable things (why exactly did William want to go to the Amazon?), but nothing enough to stop me from enjoying the art and story.
review 2: I love seeing Jeff Lemire i... moren color! the soft, rich watercolor washes used here really complement his style (and I also love seeing his artistic talents grow, while he retains a rough, sketchy line). The story in Trillium has to do with aliens, time travel, pyramids, and war-hungry brutes. There are some playful things happening with panels that I didn't quite buy as more than making the obvious more obvious and taking me out of the narrative to futz around with the book, and I didn't really buy the love (?) part of the story - I thought maybe William and Nika were variations of the same person, but I didn't see an attraction that was implied. But overall an intriguing story. Too bad William and Nika are surrounded by such bloodthirsty idiots. less
