Reviews
LIBRARY JOURNAL (STARRED) -- Hank Cho is a newly minted security officer aboard a roughly planet-sized, damaged, and abandoned space station marred by constant war among the tribe-like descendants of the original crew. He discovers some ancient and forbidden technology and is thrust into a sprawling escapade that just might decide the fate of society. Will his discovery doom the station to apocalyptic war, or could this be the first step in the station's reunion with the rest of humankind? Featuring bloody battle scenes, political intrigue, and plenty of giant robots, writer and illustrator Roy (Prophet) has crafted a tale that, while short, easily stands beside the best space opera and sf of the last decade while maintaining a sensibility and aesthetic that fans of edgier, more independent comics will love. Originally serialized in the Image anthology Island issues 2, 5, and 8, collected here for the first time. VERDICT An immensely enjoyable and essential survival tale that fans of visceral action, tales of dystopian futures, sf, and independent comics are sure to embrace.
