Just a nice little story, but they sort of gloss over some things in the end. The idea of a bored and stranded alien kidnapping humans for anthropological research is a pretty fun one, especially when he's made to to so easy to empathise with instead of being made a villain. I love the image of Four in a robe but still wearing the scarf that the few 'habitats' we see enable. The ending does make it fall a little flat though, first the alien dies because of earth's pollution (a fun little climate message), but then Four decides to go back in time and undo the events that lead to his death? We do get a pretty fun panel of Four punching other Four in the face, but rewriting time, your own timestream even, in such a blatant way just feels so wrong, and they don't punish the guy for kidnapping at all. Sure they blow up the device to he can't kidnap any more people, but what about the one's he's already taken? it just doesn't quite work for me. The art here is great though, Tom and the 'Mother ship' especially are drawn really well. JayPea View profile Like Liked 3 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
