Jack Campbell, the author behind the Lost Fleet novels, is now bringing his best-selling sci-fi series to comics. The Lost Corsair features all the engaging character elements that have helped make the Lost Fleet novels such an incredible success – but this time, the series’ epic space battles are brought to stunning life thanks to incredible visuals from Andrew Siregar (Sevara), complimented by color work by Sebastian Cheng (Orphan Black, The X-Files). Imprisoned by the Syndics, Michael Geary’s one chance lies in Destina Aragon – determined commander of a regiment of hardened soldiers now caught up in a wide scale rebellion within Syndic space. Seeking to escape both their prison and Syndic space, will Geary and Aragon join forces to get home – or will the hatreds stirred by a decades-old war kill them both?

I can't even explain how much I love Jack Campell's Lost Fleet series. They totally work for me and I'm never bored while reading. Crisp and sharp as the Marines in the stories, this story was smart and engaging.
If you like military SF, then you'll love this series. The art really brings the fight scenes to life. Both the space battles and the hand to hand combat of the marines are wonderfully rendered. I read the Lost Fleet novel series before reading the comics and it helps to have the background on the situation and the characters, especially Michael Geary. Recommended for fans of David Weber.
This is is set in Black Jack Geary series. It is comic book like story with good illustrations but the story is very short and to be continued. I was sold I want to keep the story and illustrations coming.
This is the first installment in a brief series that tells a bit of what happens to Black Jack's grand nephew. It's interesting and fills in a small side story of the books. It was entertaining
