Frontlines: Requiem #1

Frontlines: Requiem #1

by Marko Kloos, Ivan Brandon, Gary Erskine (Artist)

When Earth is in the crosshairs, there's only one thing standing between survival and duty. From acclaimed writer Ivan Brandon (Drifter, Viking), this four-issue comic book series features a new stand-alone story set within the action-packed military sci-fi world of Marko Kloos's bestselling Frontlines novels. Includes stunning artwork from Gary Erskine (Star Wars, Dan Dare, Doctor Who, Judge Dredd). Colonel Soraya Yamin, commander of the battle-ravaged space control cruiser Phalanx, engages the Lankies, a merciless alien species, in an apocalyptic assault over Mars. The Lankies, who have outgunned, outmaneuvered, and outfought humanity at every turn, have been menacing Earth's colonies. But now they're suddenly in our solar system, decimating the NACS fleet and swarming toward Earth itself. Facing insurmountable odds, Soraya must make a fateful choice between her sworn duty and the loved ones she desperately wants to protect.

This book has a lot of action in it. This book was going at a fast pace. It has a strong female lead which i love. Alien invaders to top off things. A great execution of it. It needed more character development and stories of the other characters. A must read

It was nice to see how other people envisioned the worlds created by Marko Kloos but the story was lacking and the space ships felt like floating space pistols with space as a back drop. I'll read the series because I bought it but ugh, I'm disappointed in what could've been an awesome thing!

Ok

I wanted to like it, I really did. I love me some good sci-fi without the superhero flavor that permeates most sci-fi comics.... but you know, something just fell down here. It felt disconnected and flat. Part of the problem may just that I dont read a lot of comics/graphic novels but I had a hell of a time following along with the interleaved (I think) timelines.... also not gonna lie, the lankies didnt look at all right to me, but thats just a personal preference.
