Finder is one of my favourite comics. It's a comic
that manages to wed empathetic, nuanced stories to one of the most effortlessly
dense Sci-fi settings I've ever read. Every moment of Finder is a curated act
of discovery in a fractal construct of speculation and fantasy. If you are at
all a fan of Science Fiction, Finder Third World is a must read. Finder is also
one of the most masterful comics I read: this is a comic filled with wonderful
character work, dynamic layouts, and exquisite flourishes of lettering, inking,
and craft. Third World is even in colour! If you are a fan of well made comics,
Finder Third World is a must read. Basically I cannot recommend Finder and
Third World enough. The comic itself focuses on Jaeger, the half-Ascian Finder
with the mysterious healing factor and a penchant for getting into trouble. In
Third World Jaeger decides to go legit and take a real job becoming a courier
for X-Rays. He quickly rises through the ranks, taking on increasingly
demanding and outlandish jobs until a work place mishap dumps him in Third
World where he might learn the secret behind his past. Finder Third World uses
Jaeger's courier jobs to tell a great bunch of funny, thought provoking, heart
felt, and creepy short stories that build to a dramatic climax. This chapter is
a great showcase of the heady concepts, beautiful artwork, and brilliant comedy
that defines Finder. Finder Third World is why I love comics.
