Review: The Signal
Wolf
Titan Base, February 20, 2050... Lieutenant Gason is woken by the base
computer. It is time to get up and get to work tracking an anomalous
signal that has been detected somewhere on the moon...
Climbing
aboard a trover, accompanied by his robot driver TC, he begins the
search. A few kilometres from the base, they pick up the signal. There
should be no other people on Titan, so who could be transmitting?
They
pinpoint the source: a deep, narrow cavern where the trover cannot
follow. To investigate further, Gason must suit up and proceed on foot
through the hostile atmosphere of Saturn's moon. It could be the
discovery of the century... or something he never could have imagined.
In The Signal by
writer/artist Pizo Meyer, one man's venture into the unknown takes a
turn for the bizarre. Meyer's rough-hewn style, with a restrained
palette of cold blues, creates the chilling atmosphere of an unsettling
dream. There are shades of 2001 in this mystery, with our hero's
quest leading him from the realm of scientific knowledge into territory
bordering on the mystical.
What is the source of this signal?
Unauthorised astronauts? Alien life? Or hallucinations brought on by
hypothermia caused by a failing space suit?
Enjoy your trip...
