The story has the pace that’s expected for the start of a new book. The characters and world are set up nicely while not giving away the motivations of anybody. The interactions between the inmates aren’t uncommon for any prison story besides the presence of alien races. Inmates gather to eat, then they start talking, then shit hits the fan. Maybe that doesn’t happen much after this issue but its prison, people are going to be pissed off about one thing or another. It’s not until later in the issue that Cluster begins to differentiate itself from a stereotypical prison drama.
Cluster #1 did a good job of setting up a plot that has plenty of unanswered questions. Samara’s back story will more than likely be filled in slowly but surely as well the origins of the other characters. Whether this books will be action packed or story driven is still up in the air. I will be checking out the next few issues to see where Cluster goes.
