Drive: A Hero Rises

Drive #1.1

by Dave Kellett

An operatic comic strip told in weekly, page-by-page installments, DRIVE tells the story of the second Spanish Empire -- a galactic empire -- and it's war with a race called "The Continuum of Makers".

We follow the crew of the Machito, who have been press-ganged into a uniqe mission by an Emperor they despise. But their mission ripples out in ways neither they nor the Emperor could imagine, to impact the fate of both warring races.

This first DRIVE book collects the first year of the sci-fi strip...along with memos, letters, and historical reports from across the empire. There are even tidbits not seen online!

[Rhonda · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you haven't read this series, you must. It is fantastic

[Blake Petit · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dave Kellett spreads his legs a bit in this sci-fi comedy. It's very different from his more famous "Sheldon" comic strip, and it's a strip that -- in this first book -- is still very much trying to figure out what it wants to be. But that's true of almost every comic strip. The book is fun and I enjoyed reading it.

[Matt James · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is sci-fi and humor with an obviously thought out universe. It builds and builds, complete with encyclopedia entries and histories of races and events. Cannot wait for Kellett to continue with this series (beyond book 3).
