“For a gripping, near-future science-fiction tale, I highly recommend Trees.” -- Kirkus
Ten years after they landed. All over the world. And they did nothing, standing on the surface of the Earth like trees, exerting their silent pressure on the world, as if there were no-one here and nothing under foot. Ten years since we learned that there is intelligent life in the universe, but that they did not recognize us as intelligent or alive.
Trees, a new science fiction graphic novel by Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, Red) and Jason Howard (Super Dinoasaur, Astounding Wolf-Man) looks at a near-future world where life goes on in the shadows of the Trees: in China, where a young painter arrives in the “special cultural zone” of a city under a Tree; in Italy, where a young woman under the menacing protection of a fascist gang meets an old man who wants to teach her terrible skills; and in Svalbard, where a research team is discovering, by accident, that the Trees may not be dormant after all, and the awful threat they truly represent.

Intricate Storytelling
By Talvi
One thing I can depend upon with a Warren Ellis title - it won't be flat. With Trees, we have a different take on the alien invasion trope that really has nothing to do with the aliens at all. Rather, this is a piece about people - fascinating, heartbreaking, and intriguing in both their uniqueness and pathos. Those expecting to see aliens vs humans will be disappointed - this is far more than a simple invasion story. And one whose reading experience is greatly improved as a collection than as individual comic issues.
Synopsis: Giant towers have appeared across the Earth - their locations seeming random as they can be in the middle of a city or out in the frozen North. Nicknamed trees, their presence has disrupted the planet. In Svalbard, a group of scientists studying a tree make a terrifying discovery. At the base of a tree in the middle of Rio, the city is instantly destroyed when a toxic sludge is released. In Somalia, a brutal war is about to be raged using a tree as a base. In China, a cultural city arises - an experiment by the Chinese government to see how the tree affects people. In Italy, a town with an occult history (read: Aleister Crowly) and giant tree feeds a fascist rebellion and a cruel warlord.
The trees are, ironically, a MacGuffin for this entire volume. They are oblivious to the tiny lives happening around them; a witness but not a participant in life on Earth. That is the conceit of this story: the alien entities are there but humans don't matter to the Trees as the Trees matter to the humans.
At heart, this is the story of people. From the artistic young man from rural China hoping to sketch the tree in the cultural city - and instead beginning a romance with a transgendered woman. To the beautiful young Italian woman serving as moll to a young man who seized power in the wake of the appearance of a tree - and the mysterious old man who teachers her how to overcome her situation. To the unhappy science crew in the arctic hating the environment and trying to make sense of the trees - until one of them stumbles upon a terrifying discovery. There is even a Somali ruler who uses economics and numbers to justify full scale war.
Each of the stories has a different theme and all are loosely tied together through the idea of the trees' 'pressure' - an undefined feeling or sense from them. Because the characters were so unique and distinct, they really took center stage and the whole need to discover the true purpose of the trees faded. Of course, this being a Warren Ellis title, misanthropy will be rampant (and many characters may not survive to volume 2).
Volume 1 has an arc for each of the stories - a conclusion that puts a punctuation mark (in some cases a question mark and in others a definitive exclamation point) at the end of each tale. Very little (really, nothing extra) is discovered about the Trees by the end of the book and I think those expecting pandering will be left scratching their head. But those hoping for something richer and nuanced will be eagerly waiting for the next volume.
The art is excellent - nuanced, intriguing, and yet distinct. The story is easy to follow and characters easy to discern. The Chinese look Chinese, for once. In actuality, the art does a much better job of establishing culture than the writing; I didn't feel that Ellis did a good job of really understanding how to present all the different cultures across the planet. They all seemed to be an American/British hybrid, their dialogues ringing hollow.
In all, I am looking to see where the story goes in volume 2. It was a pleasure to read a graphic novel with depth and pathos. Reviewed from an advance reader copy provided by the publisher.

Trees, vol 1 by Ellis and Howard
By C. Dennis Moore
When I saw the first issue of Warren Elli’s TREES on the shelf one new comic day in 2014, it took less than a quarter of a second to decide I was buying this book. And I didn’t regret that decision for a moment, because this book combines three things I love: comics, aliens, and Warren Ellis.
The title is set ten years after the aliens have landed. At least, we think they’re aliens. Honestly, we’re not sure. They come from space. They are hundreds of feet tall. That stand silently upon the earth. They do nothing, they say nothing. They’re just like monolithic poles sticking up out of the ground. People call them trees.
In all the time they’ve been here, they’ve never acknowledged humanity. They’ve never moved. Nothing has ever emerged from inside one. Every so often they spill their waste on the ground where its left to destroy everything in its path. But other than that, they’ve left humanity alone.
If only that indifference were a mutual feeling.
Volume 1: In Shadow, tells the story of several characters living in a world affected by the Trees.
Tian Chenglei is a young painter from a small village who has just moved to the “special cultural zone” of an Asian city near one of the Trees. He’s unsure of the world, feeling like an alien himself, newly landed and alone. He meets up with a young transgender woman who finally, for the first time in Chenglei’s life, makes him feel like he belongs somewhere.
In Italy, Eligia’s boyfriend Tito runs a gang that keeps the town of Cefalu under its thumb until an old man offers to educate her in how the take care of herself without having to rely on the abusive Tito.
And at an arctic research station, Marsh discovers small plants growing near a Tree located by their station. His colleagues want to think it’s nothing, but Marsh knows there’s no possible way these particular flowers could be here. He studies them further and comes to the realization that they might be linked to the Tree in a more intimate way.
Originally, I was reading this series month to month as the issues came out, but I soon found it difficult to grasp from issue to issue. And then when my local shop stopped getting it, I decided to just read it collected in trade, and that really opened the story to me in a whole new way. Connections were made, arcs were revealed, and the book just took on a deeper meaning.
Ellis has never shied away from tackling difficult topics and from what I’ve read, he’s never been one to write down to his audience. TREES is no different. This isn’t some action-packed shoot-em-up with lots of chase scenes and one-liners. TREES is a serious look at some deep subjects, and all with the backdrop of this incredibly mysterious and very frightening thing always looming over the characters. He looks not just at how the people are affected by the Trees and the implication they bring with them, but also at how the world as a whole has moved since they landed.
And then there’s the climax. What a way to end the first arc. If the end to this first collection insures nothing else, it insures I’ll be getting issue #9 when it comes out, even if I have to read it digitally, because there’s no way in the world I’m waiting 8 months for another trade to see what happened next. Those last 16 pages changed every single thing Ellis had set up in the previous pages and I’m dying for more.
But let me not ignore the art by Jason Howard. I never thought I would see someone who was able to make a stick in the ground look so terrifying. Howard gives the Trees a foreboding and a presence that is somehow both grand and intimate at the same time. And while Ellis lets several pages of panels go by in a row with no dialogue, Jason Howard’s art tells the story wonderfully on its own.
I hope Howard is on the book for as long as it runs as his pencils marry so well to Ellis’s words, giving TREES a very unique look among all the other comics that come out every month.
I recommend TREES Vol. 1: In Shadow to anyone who loves a good read and isn’t afraid of a book that’s smarter than they are.

Someone call a Lumberjack
By Jacob Alvarado
This world spanning event follows a handful of people from all across the globe and all walks of life as they live in a world dotted with black alien structures. The story is book-ended by the NY governments view on the situation. We follow a young artist (the most interesting character) in the big city as he experiences things he never would have in his little home village. We learn most about the objects from a group of arctic scientists who come in contact with new alien life. We see an African president would wants to use the Trees for his own benefit. The strangest of the stories follows an old mans dealing with the local mob. By the end, mayhem ensues for all.
This book does a fine job at showing how the Trees effect different parts of the world and leaves you wondering what their purpose is. The second series will be picking up later this month.
