4/5 stars
Man i would be so mad if i was in Nika's place and everyone thinking that she is crazy, I mean even if i am crazy it would make me mad if people think am crazy lol...
Loved the opening scene that showed the death of Nika's mother for the first time.
Love the whole sentimental sadness and loneliness that this comic so beautiful, I mean if i want to recommend this comic to anyone it would be to all the lonely women and men out there.
Being alone cant find anyone to understand you and it feels like you will spend the rest of your life this lonely, Well Jeff Lemire solved this issue just know that somewhere in the future or the past there is someone like you and that he/she is also waiting for the day you both get together.
This comic is not only about Galactic potential and the possible end of the human race and the discovery of possible Sci-fi Situations such as Body-swap or traveling via black holes to save the whole human race or the possibility of older civilizations reaching space and communing with aliens But its also about Love even though it was never said so far but you can feel it so pure and beautiful in the air surrounding every action Nika and William take.

My question here is this: why are those gravity belts cannot hold that much force? Seriously, the future humans could have invested a bit more in those belts. I believe a little tug from little Nika could have saved her mother. But like the Jack letting go scene in Titanic, Nika's death was inevitable that time for its dramatic effect. Other than that, Trillium issue 6 was done nicely, but like in a game where you need to backtrack some things, there was nothing surprising in this issue.

"ESCAPE VELOCITY"

It's 3769, we see Nika lose her mother and how she has always felt alone after that. In 1921, she's locked in an asylum, everyone thinks she's insane for believing she comes from another time. Pohl, doesn't believe that either, but she's sure the best thing for Nika is the jungle, so Pohl breaks her out of the asylum and flies her to Peru where Nika escapes and runs for the temple.

That beginning, was amazing!! Sad, but so good. Poor Nika. Also, I just realized that all the blue people were women and all the soldiers in charge in Nika's world are female. How awesome is that!!!!
