Their mission is to make barren planets hospitable for mankind... but in a frozen colony called New Sapmi lays a mysterious force that not even the resourceful Earthbuilders are ready for.

Looks like the April competition on Zuda has a lot of SciFi Space Adventures... and that's fine with me.
The first one is Earthbuilders. This comic does almost everything right. It doesn't do it "the best" but it does do it right. At least, everything but the sphincter jokes.
After seeing the starship on the first page I was kinda hoping to see some space battles. The ship and vehicle designs are pretty good. There's a familiar feel to them, but they also manage to stay unique enough that you aren't reminded of other scifi stories.
The other aspects of the art are just as good. There were a few places where the facial expressions bugged me, but other than that the comic looks really good.
The story itself does a great job of drawing you into the world (or in this case worlds?) these characters live in and a few of the characters even get a little backstory thrown in. You walk away with a good feel for what's going on. The fact that there's a little action thrown in is a plus.
The only complaint I had (aside from the completely unnecessary sphincter jokes) was the dialogue. It wasn't that it was over-the-top cliche, it's more that it just felt a little flat. It's fine when the characters say what they have to say to advance the story, but the "personality through dialogue" aspects felt a little forces.
Overall it's a fun story to read. It's deffinetly different for a space adventure, and not in a bad way.
