Review: Galactic Core




Humanity has spread amongst the stars, finding new worlds, new friends and a new frontier, but also new enemies. In the aftermath of the Great Galactic War thousands of civilisations, human and alien alike, were left decimated. Chaos reigns in the galaxy.

The Q'Bi system, Alliance space: a small starship drops out of hyperspace after making a random jump. Princess Ariesa of Natal is fleeing a fleet of the fearsome Watu Mutilons. Before she can initiate the next jump, however, her enemies are upon her and open fire. Her engines damaged, she is forced to make an emergency landing on the planet below... and hope that it can offer her sanctuary.

Q'Bi 4 is home to ten million people; a technologically advanced civilisation. Ariesa crashes in the city Ch'Yuli but emerges from the wreckage unscathed... It seems Natali princesses are made of some pretty stern stuff!

The Watu Mutilons despatch Raptors: armoured troopers diving from orbit towards their quarry. Here the gold-skinned princess really shows off her noble credentials, holding off the savage invaders with some highly impressive combat skills. She is but one against a legion, however, and cannot prevail for long...

The cavalry arrives just in the nick of time  literally descending from the sky like angels of mercy: the Galactic Corps, a group of super-powered warriors on a mission to bring order to a galaxy embroiled in chaos.

Then, the fun really starts...

Galactic Core by Nigerian writer/artist Emmanuel Ozor is a fusion of science fiction and superhero genres very much in the spirit of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy ... by which I mean the original 1970s comic, not the modern rebooted version. Here we have fantastically exotic warriors with an array of spectacular abilities battling evil alien villains, across an ever-expanding arena of dazzling star systems and strange new worlds. The vibe here is very reminiscient of the psychedelic space opera comics of yesteryear; a quality missing from most of today's sci-fi offerings. 

The action is relentless, every page exploding with battles, explosions and colourful bursts of energy being flung around in a frenzy. Ozor's art flows and captures the drama of every moment. 

Our heroes are pitted against seemingky tireless opponents, their strength tested to exhaustion in a desperate struggle with no clear win in sight... with a foreboding sense that the worst is yet to come...

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
