Nethack armor. Outpost Zero #7 Image Comics Writer: Sean McKeever Artist: Jean-Francois Beaulieu & Alexandre TefenkgiOutpost Zero is one of those comics that I’d see on the shelf each month, and the cover would intrigue me. However, the fact that it focuses on a more YA audience stalled my hand when push came to shove. This week, though, I finally took the plunge and caught up on all seven issues. The result: a pleasant surprise. Story:Outpost Zero documents an outpost of stranded humans on an arctic planet. While this is the skin it wears as a genre (SF), the true story lies in the complex relationships in the form of cultural taboos, forsaken love, freedom of choice, and much more.In #7 Discovery Team has mined their way through a mountain of snow and ice that was dumped on the colonies dome from a mega-storm. At the same time, Lyss, Elea, and Sam, three teenage residents, attempt to discover what lies beneath the outpost.
Outpost Zero #9 Image Comics Writer: Sean Kelly McKeever Artists: Jean-Francois Beaulieu & Alexandre Tefenkgi Somewhere, deep below Outpost Zero, is a secret. It causes anomalies in the form of power dips and gravsync distortions. Sam and Alea won’t rest until they find out. Story: Sam flies through the air, dropping downRead More.
Whatever is down there, someone is trying to keep secret.Characters:Everyone in this comic is complex. The least filled out characters are, perhaps, Elea’s parents, but even they have hopes and dreams for their lives and their daughter that come across as genuine. Most intriguing aside from the mysteries beneath Outpost Zero is the character of Mitchell. A 14-year-old kickboxer with severe anger issues and broken family life, what was once introduced as a whiny and overly dramatic tough man-child, is later revealed with considerable depth. The same can be said for Karen, the Chief of the station. #7 fills out her motives for adopting Sam when his parents died, as well as why their relationship is so strained all the time.Art:The art in this piece is solid. I don’t really know how else to put it.
The characters are relatable, some of the scenes are beautiful, and all of it just seems to work. However, there’s nothing that draws the eye. Nothing that makes readers rethink what they know about comic book art–and to be honest, that’s not what this story strives for.
In future issues, my hope is the world fills out a bit more, becomes more expansive. This gives the artists more opportunity to showcase their abilities. For this story, the art, simply, works and tells the story well, but don’t expect many fireworks.Conclusion:While doubts plagued me before I began reading, after the first 7 issues, I’m sticking with it.
Where it shines most is in its characters who are diverse in perspective as much as in motives and problems. Outpost Zero #7, and as a series has captured my attention, and it’s certainly worth your time.
Writer: Sean McKeever,Artists: Jean-Francois Beaulieu and Alexandre Tefenkgi,Cover by: Jean-Francois Beaulieu and Alexandre Tefenkgi,Publisher: Image Comics,Release Date: July 11th, 2018,Price: $4.99On a frozen world far away from our own, Outpost Zero stands. In it lives families, workers, explorers, and scientists who have been living on the planet for generations. There is Steven, who is the son of an engineer, Alea, the daughter of explorers, and Sam, the adopted son of the outpost's chief. Steven has begun interning with his father, Alea's parents leave for an expedition, and Sam is continually bullied by others for the tragedy that befell his birth parents. Outpost Zero #1 cover by Jean-Francois Beaulieu and Alexandre TefenkgiOutpost Zero #1 builds the world going forward. We meet the characters, learn of the setting, and we see how these elements interact.It's a compelling premise for sure; the idea of a colony of humans living on a far-off hazardous planet makes for a good sci-fi book. It focuses on the teenage children and their interactions, and that may be the best way to approach such a scenario.
You see how the transition between roles and generations happen in this alien setting.The main characters are likable, with Alea being the dreamer, Steven the pragmatist, and Sam the tortured and quiet one. Mitchell is the bully to Sam, and that leaves Mitchell to be the weakest link in the young cast. He's ridiculously cruel and with little provocation.The pacing is slower, as the book has a lot to set up. That said, I was never left bored or losing interest, for the characters and story are just that solid.Jean-Francois Beaulieu and Alexandre Tefenkgi are the artists, and the world they craft looks great. The suits look cool, the outpost has a neat design, and the frigid world outside it all is imposing yet beautiful.
Earn to die 6. Welcome to Earn to Die 5 – home of the largest selection of games on the internet! Enjoy all versions including the newest one ( Exodus). In this version, you play as a medic transport driver. Make it to the hospital in time to help save lives!
There is a storm that stirs up in the latter section that looks incredible. The color art is great too, giving the world a vivid life and atmosphere.Outpost Zero #1 is a great introduction to this world and its characters. The premise is solid, the characters are interesting, and the art is excellent.
Plenty of intriguing plot threads are set up, but the first installment still has a lot of story to tell on its own. This one earns a strong recommendation.
Check it out when it reaches stores on July 11th.
