The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of PLANET GIGANTIC #1 from Action Lab Entertainment. Eric Grissom writes and David
Halvorson draws.
A young brother and sister crash land on a new world. This
new planet is lush, green and quite beautiful in many ways, but it also holds
many dangers. The kids are resourceful and clever, but trouble finds them soon
enough. Then we meet Lyana, who acquires things for people. Her latest job is
to find the Eye of the Sun, but getting it will take a great deal of
cleverness.
There is often a fine line between fantasy and science
fiction (sometimes it gets ignored altogether), and this book plays with that
line quite a bit. And there’s nothing wrong with that at all. These two stories
(their beginnings, anyway) are well written, with enough world building to give
us frame of reference and likeable characters to draw us in. The landscapes are
beautifully done as well, and the monsters are imaginative (and big!).
This new fantasy world has a lot to offer – cool people and
creatures, great stories and endless potential. This is definitely one to pick
up.
PLANET GIGANTIC #1 is available now at your FLCS or at actionlabcomics.com.
