Seraphic Feather: Volume 6 Collision Course (Seraphic Feather

セラフィック・フェザー [Seraphic Feather] #6

by Hiroyuki Utatane (Artist), Toshiya Takeda, Dana Lewis (Translator)

A game of power, treachery, and violence plays out over possession of advanced alien technology discovered buried on the Moon. These "Emblem Seeds" can unleash incredible power, but only a few are capable of wielding that power, and those who can are as valuable as the technology itself. Separatist corporate terrorists have hijacked a shuttle to Earth with the intent of kidnapping one such paranormal, Kei Heidemann, but U.N. agents, led by the beautiful and deadly Attim M-Zak are out to spoil their plot. But if the agents fail, not only will Kei fall into enemy hands, but the crippled shuttle will collide with Earth's orbital elevator, cutting off the moon colonies and setting the stage for the Moon's independence... and potential war with Earth!

[Baal Of · Rating 1 out of 5]

I read this series up through book six because I bought them a few years back based on the artwork, and since I already owned them, I figured I should read them. The artwork is clean and detailed, not overly fussy. However the story itself is run of the mill, with hefty amounts of the usual tropes found in the genre, including the excessively neurotic young girl who constantly flashes skin and then slaps a guy when he notices, the highly competent overly well-endowed operative who can withstand massive amounts of punishment, and take out large numbers of gun wielding thugs using a sword, and plenty of young men who look feminine. The series pretends to be science fiction, but really it is fantasy placed in a science fiction wrapper, using the standard ESP, telekinesis, etc. mental powers, feebly justified with the concept of some mysterious alien artifacts. The violent sections are pretty well done, with nicely gory artwork, but it's just not enough to bring the story line up to the level of being interesting.
