Jody Houser and Gabriel Guzman continue the tale of StarCraft: Scavengers!
After surviving a murderous dark templar's rampage, a terran space engineer named Caleb is forced to do the protoss's bidding: infiltrating a munitions factory in the Umojan Protectorate to find a mysterious source of power. As the dark templar ratchets up the pressure, Caleb attempts to find solace in the friends he's made since his arrival at Spearpoint Base. But he never forgets his true objective to appease the dark templar and survive her reign of terror.
Wow, for a comic based on a video game, this was great! Great world building. I think fans of the Aliens Dark Horse comics would really like this. It's really dark with an intriguing story. I don't even play Starcraft and really liked it.
Caleb is a young engineer who is the last of his crew. A protoss murdered them and is now forcing Caleb to be his spy on a world that is building a new weapon. The story is really compelling about how Caleb is comflicted and how the protoss manipulates him. Gabriel Guzman's art is really good too.
Received a review copy from Dark Horse and Edelweiss. All thoughts are my own and in no way influenced by the aforementioned.
This was a fun Starcraft graphic novel that combines a four issue story arc featuring an evil Protoss warrior who is controlling a naive Terran engineer. It takes place on a factory outpost, part of the Umojan Proectorate. The evil Protoss hovers in the background manipulating the main character while the main character spies for it and plots the downfall of the outpost. There are some interesting cloak and dagger elements. It reminded me of films about undercover cops who becoming members of the mafia and have to struggle with their guilt as they work to betray people they are gaining the confidence of. It was pretty dark and bloody and had elements of horror. The evil Protoss is kind of like a "Predator" figure.
