Review: Immortal Orphans



2420. The Delta Hive is a vast underground city housing the last surviving humans of an environmental disaster that has left the Earth uninhabitable.

Petty thief Gannion is running from the cops, all of whom are robots. Arti the AI cop catches up with him but, instead of taking him into custody, he takes Gannion to a deep cave with a strange, glowing portal. He injects Gannion with nanotechnology to give him special abilities.... but for what purpose?

Two hundred years earlier, a man named Quinn watches as a garbage truck disposes of mysterious canisters in a "hell hole" in the ground. This disposal is being carried out by the Durand corporation, a company owned by Julie Durand, leader of New Shangri-La, a nation comprising a quarter of what used to be the United States of America.

When Quinn's hi-tech scopes reveal that the canisters contain human beings in cryogenic suspension he leaps into action. He only has time to save one life...

Meanwhile, cyborg Liberty Durand is fighting to free her brother Marcus from a secret laboratory. Both are victims of their father's experiments to unlock the secrets of immortality.

Immortal Orphans by writer/artist Carter Mann is a madcap joyride from page one that barely pauses to catch its breath, and the reader may get a little lost among all the futuristic elements: cyborg-zombie cops, a shape-shifting mutant, Quinn's floating house and purple cat... all tied together by the Porta Luminous, the 'Portal of Light' that acts as an interdimensional portal for powers beyond human understanding...

But fear not, there is a coherent story here beneath all the flash-bang action and drama. Mann's art style is a loose, energetic explosion that incorporates plenty of humour along with the darker elements of the story.

Gannion is about to go on a journey into the unknown. He has been equipped with every technological advantage the 25th century has to offer.... but will it be enough?

Review: Toxx

Image
 Cover art:  Adrien Bonilla @adrianBcomics   What does it mean to be human in a world that left humanity behind long ago? Claire is pregnant, and there are complications: the Earth is a radioactive dystopia filled with ferocious mutations and everyone else on the planet is sterile. The tiny miracle inside her has made her a target... Thirty years previously the ozone layer failed and solar radiation flooded the world, killing most living things and transforming the rest into horrific monsters. Worse, fending off the hungry wildlife is only delaying the inevitable; eventually everyone succumbs to the destabilising effects of radiation poisoning. Our heroine lives in an underground town where she works as part of a team called the Relic and Toxx Scavengers (R.A.T.S) who make hazardous visits to the surface to forage for essential supplies. Once her condition is discovered, however, Claire herself becomes an invaluable commodity to be traded... TOXX by writers Evan Carothers and Eric Pal
