"The Zone Continuum has a style of it's own that falls somewhere between a retro 50's sci-fi movie and Frank Miller's Sin City ." -- Evilgeek

This volume collects the four single issues of Zick’s (Terminal Point) 1992 cyberpunk series. On the rooftops of New York City, the ancient Dar race fight a war far outside human awareness using a combination of cutting-edge technology and arcane ritual. From his water-tower base, protagonist Talon seeks to thwart Spere and his army of techs from destabilizing Zone 27, which is itself threatened by humans and their global pollution. Talon is a tragic figure, separated from his wife and tortured by his responsibility as a Zone protector and an advocate for humanity despite the problems they present to his existence. Spere has his own moral code that elevates the struggle beyond a simple fight between good and evil. Zick’s frenetic monochromatic art contributes to the noirish feel, which frustratingly ends on an unresolved cliff-hanger.
Verdict: Zick revisits his earlier crafted world in 2016 with an all-new story line. Die-hard fans of the series may appreciate this raw, unfinished protowork. However, the convoluted worldbuilding and underdeveloped narratives make this a confusing and unsatisfying selection for most readers.
