Living in paradise 'does not require courage, selflessness, creativity, passion'. Whatever became of your 'capacity for joy and carnival'? Why try to build an earthly paradise when that, by definition, is 'a static place - where change is no longer necessary'? Until next time, fill the space you occupy with kindness.Thank you and good night, Ralph Nader, plus sundry other 'old figureheads' of radical action. With stunning visuals and compelling storytelling, Navigator is another bright star in the sky of science fiction that will leave both film and comic fans surprised and delighted with every turn of the page. It’s easy for things to slip into Science Fantasy and while I love “Cosmic Wizards” and “Space Bigfoots” there is something to be said about really grounding your story even when it has fantastical elements and Navigator does just that. The whole thing feels very practical and real in both the tone of the character’s reactions to these grand cosmic events and the logical evolutions of our place in the universe as we grow as a species. It’s got great starship and technology designs. This is one of the most science fiction comics I think I have ever read. As a trade for giving AGOTUS ( one of those names you can’t say with the human mouth so it stands for Alien Guest of the United States) asylum, AGOTUS helps humanity figure out a plan to defend itself (and in turn the greater galaxy and beyond) from this impending cosmic threat.Īll of this is happening around a very human story about love, family, and reconciliation.
The story follows a non-earth native navigator who is kinda captured but is also kinda seeking sanctuary from other aliens after a battle on one of Jupiter’s moons.
The creative team is like one of those supergroups from the 80s that pulls together a rad guitarist from this band and an epic singer from this band and then has some kinda random name like “Iron Super Rat” or something… they have a goofy name but they put out hits, and when it comes to science fiction comics I feel like Navigator is a hit for sure. To be sure, it is fraught with some truly dazzling spaceship battles and emotionally heavy moments but that is to be expected with a book written by the Academy Award-winning visual effects artist John Bruno that is based on a story by himself, Ron Thornton, and Steve Burg and is illustrated by Jordi Armengol. It pays to lead with hate.ĭark Horse Comic’s Navigator feels more hopeful than harrowing in a lot of ways. I don’t have much faith in humanity most days, but it’s always nice to think that somewhere out there in the sea of stars, there are sentient species who want to help more than harm and who don’t, like our news cycles painfully illustrate.
