This one was a little frustrating - it contained some great ideas and intriguing visuals, but 6 issues was just not enough time to explore them. It was almost like a teaser of something bigger. While I enjoyed my time with it, in the end I just felt let down that there wasn't more. ( )

I'm not sure why I even wanted to read this. I spotted it at the end of an Ex Machina volume. I'm glad I did read it. It's tightly written; and has strong art work. I'm disappointed that there's only one 6-issue volume. I want to know more about Nathan Kane. I think I may have liked this mostly because it poke fun at Microsoft and Windows. ( )

A science fiction graphic novel by Warren Ellis. A scientific group is out exploiting a planetary resource, and when they make a find, their corporate overlords decide to take some drastic action. However, a government agent/troubleshooter also gets involved, luckily for the non-corporate types.

Amusing, with action, and a fairly blatant Microsoft satire.

The messages of the book seem to be that exploration is sexy, computer company monopolies are insanely evil, and guns are very bad but necessary to stop bad guys. The last page tosses in a nod to the idea that we’re not prisoners of our heritage, but it’s all undercut by the way the big guns save the day by blowing up all the problems.
