A short bit
Raised by Wolves #1 by Aaron Guzikowski is a short piece of the story and doesn't give much more than a glimpse. Interesting. This is a comic/graphic comic book.

Primer for E01
It does not bode well for a tv series if you watch the pilot, only for it to make some kind of sense after reading a short comic book. I only found this passably interesting because it is Ridley Scott and it hints at a broader mythology. This became overly burdensome for the Alien franchise, so it will be interesting to see if Scott can make something fresh here.

This was incomprehensible as a teaser for the new HBO show. I think you'd need to see the show first to know what's going on in this.

Very short, but it does make a good teaser for the tv show.

This comic book commercial for a new sci fi show on the HBO Max streaming service persuaded me to never watch the show. It looks awful.

A companion to the excellent tv series, this first and unfortunately a bit short issue offers more information about the Mithraic's raise to power and the war.

Conflicts with TV series
A nice bit of art on its own, but it conflicts with the series, where the children very soon learn that Mother herself can transform into a Necromancer. Why would she set them up to be terrified of herself? I have to assume these ratings were made long before the series got to the relevant plot points. It's also a shame the series itself doesn't make clear that ordinary Necromancers don't disguise themselves as "service models", the way Mother does, I've seen a bit of confusion on the internet about this.

"You come from a planet called Earth. It was a good planet, and would have lasted much longer if only the humans who lived there could have found peaceful ways to resolve their differences. But an argument can never be resolved if one of the parties refuses to see reality for what it is... and so there was war."
I recently saw a few trailers for Raised by Wolves and I was intrigued. When I did a little more research I found that Ridley Scott was involved and that this comic book tie in was available for free on Amazon.
It is a short taster, at only 9 pages, but it gives enough of an insight to make me want to watch the show, which has just been renewed for a second season.
Earth has been destroyed and it is up to two androids, mother and father, to raise a group of children on an alien planet.

Stories of how the Earth was destroyed—flashbacks.
There’s a random gay couple that gets stuck with a bunch of kids…then it turns out one of the dudes is a chick…
Who’s the naked lady with all the braids? Why is she so scary?
The malicious Necromancers versus the kind and helpful Atheists.
The illustration quality isn’t great. Colors are simple, not varied or vibrant.
Very ideological and lacking nuance: Religion, evil; Atheism, The Way.
Très bizarre.

This is cool!
Well, if you like Raised by Wolves then you should read this! #1 gives you a little bit more info about Earth before the show, the war and the creation of necromancers! It’s a good quick read

Holy war.
Good color artwork. HBO freebie. This would be easier to review if it was 32 pages. A brief preview of a streaming show? In the humanity is greatly reduced in numbers after a holy war . Robots take the place of parents.

Buen complemento a la serie. Se agradecen estos productos y su accesibilidad. En tan pocas páginas es normal que no nos cambien la perspectiva de la serie, pero sí que tenemos un vistazillo al pasado de los Mitraicos y se sigue trabajando al personaje de Madre.

Very entertaining
Enjoyed every minute reading this! The art work was very good. I have shared this series already with my friends. I only wish HBO Max wasn't so expensive.

Nah
Nope this is as boring to endure to the series of which it's based; that's a bad sign when skipping pages is needed to keep my interest. NOTE IT DIDN'T!

A very short introduction to a TV show. The premise is interesting but is just crumbs for a lot of world-building. It certainly has made me interested to check out the show.

Interesante extra
Es un añadido interesante a la historia original. Aporta algunos datos curiosos que permiten entender mejor la trama. Dibujo y guión bien logrados.

Too short, but it's a good teaser. Now I'm compelled to start the tv series

Too short
Too short. Was expecting more. I hope they come out with a real comic book some day. It was disappointing. Artwork was great.

Short but good
If you enjoyed the television show them you'll surely enjoy the graphic novel. I'm looking forward to reading more ( if there are any more? )

I started watching Raised by Wolves this week and I am obsessed! This short comic was cute.
I can’t believe it was canceled after season 2. I need more of RbW!

I watched the series and bought this thinking it was a book of it, did not know it was like 5 pages of a comic.

Having seen the series, this is a nice little add in.

VERY SHORT REVIEW FOR A VERY SHORT COMIC
I got more backstory, lore, and understanding out of these few pages than I did out of the first couple of episodes of the show I've watched.
