SCI-FI COMIC NEXUS

There was once a dreaded force in the galaxy, devouring everything in its path. It was the Viper Onslaught! Only three races stood between them and total conquest.  That was over a thousand years ago. This on again, off again war has strained the Triumvirate, some say beyond repair! In this current wave of peacetime, will they be able to consolidate their power? Will the Vipers return? Will the galaxy be destroyed? In "the big black nothingness that spans the distance between the islands we call planets" the RTS Cerberus patrols the borders... "keeping the empire safe from... well, nothing." Ir's the graveyard shift. Corbull (purple squid alien) is bored. Nobody has even seen a Viper for more than twenty years. He and his friend Komak (red pterodactyl alien) have flight duty. Technician Lintak (blue monkey alien) launches their fighters out into the void... ... where Corbull promptly nods off and starts dreaming of his homeworld, complete with a Jane Austen sty...

A new dawn! More than three Earth years have passed since the fall of the Terran Empire and the collapse of civilization. But freedom has its price. The remains' centre is dominated by lawlessness and piracy and the void has never been more wild... The colonies at the frontier are the only places where some order is still maintained. Gunnar, a former detective, who works as a freelancer to make ends meet and protect freedom from chaos, is on his way to finish a job... It is the Earth year 2533 and Gunnar sets down on the planet Gemini 2 in the Helen Nebula. It  is a rocky, dusty wasteland of a world with just a few thousand inhabitants. A huge mechanical ring - a 'jump gate' - hangs in the sky over the city; a transportation portal for supplies (including much needed water from the ocean world Gemini Prime). It has a Wild West, frontier town vibe, the streets peppered with junkies hooked on "dust" and disreputable young women offering companionship to weary travel...

Continuing from Issue 1 , an unlikely trio of refugees flees an Earth that has been taken over by despotic artificial intelligences. Muscular stuttering 'Bear', impertinent jocular 'Noose' and acerbic suspicious Aisha blast off into space aboard a stolen ship they do not have complete control over. The ship's computer tells them that there are three humans on board and one 'unknown' ... hunting for a robot stowaway they instead find a human child cowering inside a hidden compartment. She tells them her name is Eve and she is also on the run from the A.I.s ... which leaves our original trio with an uncomfortable question: if Eve is human, one of them is ... something else . But who? And what? They have to put such questions aside when the ship needs to be repaired and a habitable planet found. Landing to make repairs, they also need to find supplies. But exploring this strange new world has its own dangers... In Digital 2 by writers Rich Watkin and Zaky Hnan...

"When I switch to the other side I hate who I become. But what choice do I have?" Lagos, Nigeria, 2037. Nineteen year old Harrison Ikenna moves into a new home with his family and starts college. Things go well at first; he gets on well with the other students and looks forward to the challenges of his new academic life. However, he is also haunted by a restless uncertainty, questioning his purpose in life... Events take a turn for the bizarre when he meets his new biology teacher, a man who has the same name as him. Shaking off this odd coincidence, he heads home only to find his sister in tears. Some local youths attempted to molest her. Enraged, he tracks them down and a fight quickly ensues; a fight that Harrison wins - against three opponents with weapons - with apparently no effort whatsoever. Unable to control his anger, he kills one of the boys and is subsequently arrested for murder. He is sentenced to life imprisonment. The end of his young life... or is this just t...
