Kingdom: Aux Drift

Kingdom #3

by Dan Abnett, Richard Elson (Illustrator)

IT’S THE FAR FUTURE AND MANKIND HAS BEEN ALL BUT DESTROYED. The survivors hide from ‘Them’ – the giant alien bugs that have taken over the world! Only brutal genetically engineered dog-soldiers like Gene the Hackman can beat them back.

Gene now leads a new pack of mongrel Aux warriors known as the Wild Bunch where they live alongside human survivors in their settlement, ‘The Kingdom’. But the kingdom’s cracks are starting to show, while Them get meaner… and bigger!

Continuing the post-apocalyptic adventures of Gene the Hackman, brought to you by comic legend Dan Abnett (Guardians of the Galaxy, Warhammer) and the mighty pen of Richard Elson (Thor, Judge Dredd).

[Chris Bowley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Gene the Hackman returns as the dog-human supersoldier, giving voice to your real-life pet dog, protecting masters and getting Them off the lawn. Engaging though slightly repetitive story progression, class-leading cool factor and huge combat, Kingdom: Aux Drift delivers.

To me, Kingdom is one of the best things ever come from 2000AD. So exciting and beautifully drawn. So well written with a really interesting story and beautiful paterns of speech.

3.5 rounded up.

The human race had been virtually destroyed and genetically engineered soldiers fight alien forces.

The graphics / story were reasonable if you like lots of blood / nasty creatures / action.

[Alex Sarll]

Wherein the genetically-engineered-dog-soldiers versus giant insects saga reached a highpoint from which the current story has alas marked something of a decline. Still, Gene the Hackman et al versus the most ghastly Them yet in defence of a Mad Max-style hybrid settlement was tougher than tough.
