Absolutely gorgeous。 Pulp SciFi/fantasy adventure re-envisioned for the now。 Alan Moore mixed with Wes Anderson slathered in Mike Mignola with a sprinkle of Terry Gilliam on top?

Matt Kindt really likes to go into the very essence of ideas。It's a concept that a few writers pick up on。 People want to get into it so much they'd want to check out how and why it all works。 I mean play Zelda: Breath of the Wild or read articles on TV Tropes and you'll experience the sensation。What I really like about Ether is how Kindt and his creative team comment about how absorbed people get into it all。 Spend so much time in like Boone and you'll lose all sense of time and everything in i Matt Kindt really likes to go into the very essence of ideas。It's a concept that a few writers pick up on。 People want to get into it so much they'd want to check out how and why it all works。 I mean play Zelda: Breath of the Wild or read articles on TV Tropes and you'll experience the sensation。What I really like about Ether is how Kindt and his creative team comment about how absorbed people get into it all。 Spend so much time in like Boone and you'll lose all sense of time and everything in it。 Which is why the relationship between Boone and series antagonist Ubel is so dynamic。Ubel is villainous because he is in several ways a gatekeeper。 Gatekeepers feel like they own what knowledge they hoard。 While Boone always seems to think he's in control of situations, his failure to let other people take the lead have disastrous consequences。 Instead of taking advice from others or expressing faith in them through actions, he sees himself as the one to keep things running。 It's that kind of hubris that leads to people becoming disillusioned with something of beauty。Then there's Ubel whose knowledge and control of information gives him a strong sense of entitlement。 He doesn't care about the morals as long he gets the power that comes from hoarding everything。 It's what makes him the best antagonist to Boone and everyone in the whole, there is no rationalizing with everyone because Ubel doesn't mind keeping things stagnant, he just wants to be extraordinary by enforcing his vision of the Ether even at the cost of everyone and everything。I relate to this because I actually encountered someone like this in a fandom database。 He wasn't a sociopath, but he was very entitled to the point of blacklisting people。 The worst part was everybody had faith in him simply because they believed he was doing it for the right reasons。 But does mocking people for wanting to be a part of something they aren't confident in expressing openly in public and being excluded for having out-of-the-box ideas supposed to be quality control? And if people in these small communities enable this kind of behavior, doesn't that mean they're accomplices? I got disillusioned and saw the subjects of what I liked for their flaws。 Sorry for ranting, but it's something that's very personal。On the meta, I can even see this tying into Kindt's other series in Dark Horse like Bang! Collective unconscious and ideas being the main subject。 I know I'm ready to jump at anything with Kindt's name on it。 。。。more
