The astronauts from the International Space Station are
back on Earth trying to find food, shelter, and any other survivors amongst the
devastation. When they do find people alive, they follow them to their
headquarters. But heroes may regret that decision as these men are not what
they seem.
John Byrne has gone full circle with a new version of the
Charlton comic he did the art for back in the mid-1970s. However, this version
does not have the fantasy elements that were a part of the original series. While the story is good, it’s a standard
post-apocalyptic story I haven’t read before. Maybe I will feel differently
when the four issue mini-series is collected and I read the entire story.
I’ve said in other reviews that I’ve enjoyed his artwork
in the past, but it’s been more hit or miss with me on his recent projects. With that
said, I enjoyed what I saw in this issue. Leonard O’Grady’s colors are more subdued compared to the first issue, but did a great job overall.
