I custodi del Maser: La torre di ferro

I custodi del Maser #4

by Massimiliano Frezzato, Nikita Mandryka

It begins with "some consciousness." The group finally arrives at the Tower. After their initial meeting with its residents, the group begins to discover the weird devices that populate this place: from the Robot Octopus to the Deasum, bewildering creatures of light especially interested in Vyaohn, the outcast dwarf immortalized on the cover. The story develops in complexity. We travel through the clouds until we discover one of the biggest mysteries of Colony: the death of the Yok. And everything slips slowly into a dream…or vice versa.

Now that all characters are introduced, the narrative is 100% focused on the events.

Best volume so far.

Najdejo stolp in odkrijejo skrivnost ... Ljudje niso več mogli met otrok, ženske so postale neplodne in so znanstveniki pogruntal nek način presajanja zarodkov v velikanske dvospolne ribam podobne živali... čist čudno, ampak zdj pa ta živalca umira in potrebuje Erhino pomoč ...

Čist čudno ratuje... ampak me vedno bolj spominja na Ghibli, sploh na njegova letala in velikanska bitja.

This one definitely has a big plot twist but it was my least favorite one. It's really unique with the yok revelation, and I kind of like the political aspects, but it's also kind of odd. More information, more characters, and more places for the story to go when everything is said and done although no mention of the previous plot twist. Still a good addition!

In un'atmosfera sempre più post-apocalittica si scopre che tutto non è avvenuto per caso, ma che il programma ha seguito un ordine prestabilito. Ma da chi e perché?
