Deep Beyond n. 2
In un futuro prossimo, la Terra è sottopopolata, devastata dalle terribili conseguenze del millennium bug. La sopravvivenza dell'umanità – e, forse, del pianeta stesso – è nelle mani di un piccolo gruppo: scienziati di talento che, nonostante la situazione avversa e le stupide faide che continuano a dividere l'esiguo numero di persone ancora in vita, cercano di capire e studiare cosa si nasconde nelle profondità degli abissi. Qualcosa di misterioso e pericoloso, che alla fine potrebbe causare una catastrofe ancora peggiore e più distruttiva!
The 100 incontra Low, con un pizzico di Death Stranding nella nuovissima serie thriller fantascientifica (già hit internazionale) scritta da Mirka Andolfo.

This ended up being ok/decent sci-fi story. Our planet and another in some other galaxy, linked by a portal hidden in the bottom of the ocean. In this volume we learn why our planet ended up being contaminated. Pretty jacked up. We also learn of a resistance force on the alien planet, a character thought dead returns and we get a solution to save our planet. Solid artwork. The is will probably not make anybody’s top ten list but it was solid.

Postapokalyptischer Schauplatz. Verrückte Sekten. Verschwörungen. Undurchsichtige Regierungsorganisationen. Verzweifelte Missionen zur Rettung der Menschheit auf Leben und Tod. Lovecraftsche Ungeheuer.
In Deep Beyond wird die Erde von einer Apokalypse heimgesucht, die die Welt in eine monströse Flora und Fauna mutieren lässt. Die Menschheit überlebt nur in eigens errichteten Kolonien, und nun ist ein Wissenschaftler bereit, sich in die Außenwelt zu wagen, um eine Kollegin zu retten. Wie weit er es wohl schaffen wird, erfahren wir hier.
Der zweite Teil macht da weiter, wo die erste Ausgabe aufgehört hat: Paul und Jolene sind bei der Suche nach Jolenes Schwester auf der Flucht vor einem angreifenden Mutantenmonster. Der Comic stürzt sich hier direkt in die Action und lässt auf den ersten Seiten nicht locker. Aber dann, nachdem die Action vorbei ist, kühlen die Dinge ab, es werden neue Charaktere vorgestellt und gleichzeitig die bereits bekannten Protagonisten vertieft, wobei sich bis jetzt nicht viel bei Paul Bailey selbst, dem Hauptdarsteller, getan hat.
Beide entdecken immerhin bei ihren Erkundungen ein mysteriöses Portal und es ist nicht ganz klar, wer oder was sich dahinter befindet.
Allerdings nähert sich der Comic nun immer mehr seiner Hauptprämisse an. Es bleibt zu hoffen, dass im dritten und Abschlussteil die Story noch mehr an Fahrt aufnimmt und direkt in das eintaucht, worum es in diesem Comic wirklich geht.
Zeichner Broccardo gelingt es, die Action von Panel zu Panel üppig und eindrucksvoll wirken zu lassen. Von der Erdoberfläche bis zu den unterseeischen Bunkern gelingt es ihm, ein Gefühl von Gefahr zu übermitteln. Die Farben von Barbara Nosenzo unterstreichen dies noch zusätzlich mit etwas dezenteren Farbtönen als im ersten Teil, die der Atmosphäre ein postapokalyptisches Gefühl verpassen, wobei immer noch genügend Farbe eingebracht wird, um die Story lebendig zu halten. Die Kunst als Ganzes ist in der Lage, eine zerstörte Umwelt mit darunter verborgener Schönheit zu zeigen.
Auch dieser zweite Teil macht ordentlich Laune und sollte die Spannung bis zum abschließenden Teil locker halten.

a satisfying conclusion! and yet i still feel a little confused as to what the point was. these two volumes made for an easy, quick read and feel pretty standard fare for future earth / ocean / space / alien sci-fi. the fast plot, gorgeous illustrations, and vibrant colors are definitely this book's strengths, its weakness being the lack of any character development at all. the plot really hinges on uncovering the answers to the mystery of what's going on with the portal and how the earth colony leaders are involved, and once the mystery is uncovered, the book wraps up pretty quickly and i couldn't bring myself to care much for what actually happened to the characters. there was also a bit of skipping around with "now"/"then" timelines that didn't read smoothly. overall, fun for what it is!

April 5, 2023Conclusion of the series. To its credit, it answers most of the questions it raised, though the denouement was largely done in montage. There is a consistent through line to the story. While I would have appreciated the explanation to have taken place earlier in the book from a dramatic narrative perspective, it's at least conceptually sound as a science-fiction story.
The best parts were the fun imagery and science fiction visuals, like the main character's brain being momentarily 'translated' into space.
Lot of fun concepts but so many that none of them get the attention they deserve. I prefer a more spare, focused narrative that picks a single sci-fi premise to explore.

Interesting but confusing comic series - still enjoyable.
It's been a while since i read Volume 1 and I must confess that I don't remember it. This is probably what leads to my confusion over the plot and which character is which. Nevertheless I enjoyed the story and the illustrations and certainly got to understand most of what was going on in this post-apocalyptic world of ours with added aliens. It's nicely produced and I can still recommend it but I'd advise reading Volume 1 first. "I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This was fine. The finale of the series. It never really grasped me or my attention. There was nothing important or exciting to hold my interest. It just sort of felt like slop. A story just to be a story. Not to be entertaining. There were a couple bits that were neat. But overall it was just there. Not one I would recommend.

Second volume doesn't make things any clearer. I violated my own rule about not keeping on a series if I don't like it after an arc.

Like the first volume, there's good stuff here, but there are also a lot of moving parts, and somewhere in the jumble, I just never connected with the story or characters.
