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: Star Trek 2023

Image
  The Sisko has slept in light and shadow... The Sisko must descend... The Sisko must go... ... where no-one has gone before... Three years ago the war between the Federation and the Dominion came to an end. Many sacrifices were made to bring that conflict to a close, many lives were lost, many were separated from their loved ones for reasons that made little sense to those left behind. Nineteen year old Jake lost his father, Captain Benjamin Sisko. Not to the weapons fire of a Jem Hadar attack ship. Not the the random disruptor beam of a Cardassian soldier. He didn't die.... he was simply.... taken . Taken by the Prophets. Into their Celestial Temple. They took him to exist with them, outside of linear spacetime. The Emissary. The Sisko. Why? Reasons no human mind can comprehend... Now, just as mysteriously as he left, he is back. Returned to Deep Space Nine. To his family. His son, his wife, the daughter he never met. To Starfleet. The Prophets ... the name given by
