But, at the same time, Clandestiny is very much its own thing. Readers will know, through and through, that this is a Roche Limit book. I feel we accomplish this goal, though, without question. How determined were you to make this second arc its own animal while still fitting it snugly into the Roche Limit universe? The first issue of Roche Limit: Clandestiny has a visual style and storytelling approach that’s independent from the first five issues of the overall series. Containing that to one narrative didn’t make sense to me. Roche Limit, in so many ways, is about the human experience-who we are, where we’re going, what makes life worth living. Plus, on a story level, I have something very specific in mind with this existential tale, and it is bigger than the characters or even one specific story.
So, with Roche Limit, I wanted to push myself as much as I could and see what I could accomplish going for broke. I hate the middle of the road, and I never, as an artist, want to exist in that space. From the onset, I wanted to do something bold, something that would be an experience. It’s what drives the book and it exists within it as well. I think the spirit of Roche Limit is about taking chances, exploring, and seeing what you find. MICHAEL MORECI: I sat down and thought “how can I make this most difficult for myself?” and, viola, here we are! Kidding (sort of…). How did you come up with the idea to set the second arc 75 years into the future? Your new comic book series, Roche Limit: Clandestiny, features a mind-bending mystery taking place 75 years after the events of the first Roche Limit story arc that wrapped up in February. With Roche Limit: Clandestiny hitting comic shop shelves early next month, we caught up with writer Michael Moreci and artist Kyle Charles to discuss creating scares in space, returning to Dispater, the presence of androids, the possibility of a sixth issue in the Clandestiny story arc, and much more. Taking place 75 years after the events of the five-issue Roche Limit series, this sequel storyline features new characters and fresh situations, but still retains the fantastic storytelling and gorgeous artwork of its predecessor. It will be interesting to see how that translates to paper.They were startled to receive a distress signal from a supposedly decimated planet, but it was getting shot down by something on the surface of Dispater that really rattled the eclectic crew in the first issue of Roche Limit: Clandestiny. I read the first issue on tablet and the book just glowed with color. He use of colors to highlight action is excellent. The colorist Matt Battaglia takes a definitive different direction with book. To where Roche Limit has a very orange/ brown look to the book, the second arc has a brilliant purple/blue feel. What’s great about three arc storytelling is you can play with many aspects of the story. There are several action movements in the book that look bad-ass and gets me excited for when the action really starts in the series. This is a great example of the artist and writer being on the same page. We are introduced to about 10 characters in the first issue and each character has a distinct personality and emotions. Kyle Charles is simply a professional, his character designs for Roche Limit: Clandestiny are superb. There are expectations with this bigger budget but the last page of the issue adds another dynamic to the storyline and ups the ante of the series. The best comparison I can come up with is that Roche Limit had an indie film feel and Roche Limit: Clandestiny feels like a big budget sequel. “Are you out of your fucking mind?!” – Elbus, Roche Limit: Clandestiny #1
#Clandestiny comic series
Where as the first series Moreci used monologues to set up the individual issue, Clandestiny punches you in the face to get your heart pumping. Hey future comic book writers! That’s how you setup a first issue for success.
He sets up the plot very quickly, gives you and emotional attachment to a few characters, and then throws a couple of curveballs at you. What Moreci does well in Clandestiny is that you don’t need to read the first story to understand this book. The book is written by Michael Moreci, with art by Kyle Charles, and colors by Matt Battaglia. With danger lurking all around, the crew members fight to find a way off the planet and resist the mysterious presence that haunts them all. When a crew of military and science personnel are sent to the forgotten and desolate planet on a mysterious expedition, they quickly learn its dark secrets-and that their mission is not what they thought it to be. It’s 75 years after the events that left the Roche Limit colony in flames. Where Roche Limit felt like Total Recall (Arnold Schwarzenegger), Roche Limit: Clandestiny feels like Aliens.
