From using the wrong language to making a young boy believe he's a magician, Tad has a rough time acclimating to his new environment. Much of the drama comes from Tad being in the past, where he clashes with other members of the ship's crew. Blackfeet, the brains behind the operation, is cool, calm, and calculated, which means the others are a little distrustful of him. However, that's not the case at the moment. They are waiting not-so-patiently to see if Tad is successful in his mission. His relationship with his wife Sosh is compelling and definitely worth exploring in future issues.Įarthdivers #1 does a good job of jumping back and forth between Tad in the past and his friends in the future. Tad isn't a killer but has to become one in order to sneak aboard the Santa Maria and Niña. We learn Tad was chosen for the time-travel mission because he's a genius linguist, which you wouldn't immediately think is important until you realize there are several different dialects to choose from in the 1490s. As far as plots go it's pretty straightforward but in a good way. Our central cast consists of four Indigenous characters who come up with the plan to send one of their own back to the past to kill Christopher Columbus.
The creative team of Stephan Graham Jones, Davide Gianfelice, Joana Lafuente, and Steve Wands introduce readers to Earthdivers with a simple formula of a peek at 2112, showing how much of the world has changed for the worse. While dystopian, apocalyptic futures are nothing new, Earthdivers decides to detour from the norm by setting Christopher Columbus up as the figure who needs to be wiped out in order to save humanity.
