One of the things I love
about comics is that you can find these treasure troves of fantastic stories.
Finder is absolutely one of these amazing comics gems. Finder is a far future
comic that mainly revolves around Jaeger Ayers, a half-Ascian Finder, a special
kind of tracker, with a mysterious healing factor. The chapters of Finder flit
between Jaeger's dual lives as a tomcat in the hyper-urban domed cities of the
future and his life as a wandering outcast in the wilderness. The city stories
also heavily feature Jaeger's adoptive family: his abusive former sergeant, the
man's fey botanist wife, and their three daughters. The stories of Finder are
all intense and beautiful and arresting, but fit together loosely. Finder is
light on overarching plot, which is for the best because the comic is more
about the fantastically realized Science Fiction world Finder creates and the
deep, complicated relationships between characters. And really, as fantastic as
the stories are, the magic of Finder is its Sci-fi world: it’s at once
effortless and alive while also immaculately constructed, from the ruling urban
doppleganger clans to the societies of lion-hybrid amazons in the wilds, Finder
is just this constant act of discovery. Finder also exhibits some expert level
design work and is a modern classic of storytelling. Finder is a comic
that has spanned more than a decade so when you visit this world (which you
absolutely should) there is so much to enjoy. Seriously, Finder is a must read comic
