SUPER FAST REVIEW:

5/5

[Ming Wei · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very imaginative book, creating a new idea. The Wild West in Space, upon a new planet, this brilliant concept works fine, in this volume Abram Pollux returns to Ghost town (a old shanty town in the middle of the desert, is the best visual desciption I can give), which as seen allot of changes, people have change their friends & alliances. things were not what they use to be. Excellent artwork maintained, throughout the novel. No negatives. Fresh storyline that gets refreshed. Loving it.

This is really starting to come together, but just when I feel like I am getting to grips with the story something else happens to confuse me. The highlight is some truly spectacular artwork with several stand out splash pages. I'm definitely intrigued to see where the story is going.

I can't for the life of me remember the previous two volumes. But I pick this cokic up whenever I see a new one because I just love the panels and the artwork. The color scheme is always gorgeous and there is so much room for the panels to breathe which is something a lot of comics forget to do sometimes. Ask me about the actual story line and I couldn't tell you who's who or why they're doing what but definitely a comic I pick up for the aesthetic.

DRIFTER #12

“Go close your eyes and soon the noise will stop.” – The freaky ghost dude driving the Wheelers, speaking to the junior sheriff woman
..
DRIFTER #13
“Now I know what I’m meant to do.”

“All we’d built, gone in a whisper.”

Reminds me of the mining shafts in ‘Southern Cross’.

This series seems to have shorter and shorter comic issues – either that or they are so engaging they’ve got me hooked.

Several scenarios happening simultaneously.

“Rest in fuck!”, BOOMMM

Já o disse e continuo a dizer – esta série é graficamente esplendorosa. Apresentando diferentes planos, algumas paisagens estranhas mas espectaculares e alienígenas misteriosos que parecem partilhar uma consciência comum, Drifter é, cada vez mais uma incógnita. Os episódios não se apresentam por ordem cronológica e ficamos com a sensação de que poderá existir alguma sobreposição de realidades.

A acção decorre num planeta mineiro. Seres humanos e alienígenas humanóides trabalham nas minas numa pequena cidade que recorda o Faroeste. Num bar soturno afogam-se as mágoas e estoiram as tensões, algumas com graves consequências. Pelo meio sabemos que a nave de uma das personagens principais se despenhou neste planeta e, a partir daqui, tudo se confunde, havendo várias pistas que nos fazem perceber que a continuidade espaço-tempo não é totalmente linear.

Este volume centra-se no estoirar das tensões entre os humanos e os alinígenas, tensões que parecem dever-se à diferença de perspectiva e de mentalidade. Os alienígenas agem em comunidade, como que tendo uma consciência comum, o que os torna estranhos aos seres humanos com que contactam. A tensão finalmente estoira, resultando numa carnificina de parte a parte. Entre estes fortes episódios confirmamos que a descontinuidade dos episódios está relacionada com a nave que despenhou. De que forma? É algo que só vai ser descoberto nos próximos volumes.

Pouco centrado nas personagens, apresentando incógnita atrás de incógnita, Drifter promete uma grande revelação nos próximos episódios, revelação que já começa a tardar, mas que se começa a compor, apesar de adiada pelo confronto em que se centra este volume. Até agora a série destaca-se pela grande qualidade visual mas falta, ainda, perceber, se o puzzle narrativo está à altura de tornar o conjunto numa série excelente, ou se será uma grande desilusão.

This volume did something that I rarely see anymore in comics. When horrible violence breaks out, even sci-fi violence, comics have gone to this EXTREME with gore and deaths that is comical. But in this one it was brutal, yet it made sense and wasn't, in my mind, over the top. It really worked.

The mysteries turn to melees in the third volume of the Western space opera.

The Ghost Town storyline was great, though I'm still confused about Emmerich and the other masked character. I look forward to seeing how their arcs turn out in the final volume!

[Neon · Rating 3 out of 5]

The best of the volumes I've read so far but I still have no idea what's going on. That being said it's very pretty and the splash pages are a delight. Let's see if volume 4 does any better.
