Ron Fortier's intergalactic adventure, Beyond the Stars, continues through Silverline Comics, adorned by three, collectible covers, created by Andrea Bromida, Kevin West, Mickey Clausen, Thomas Florimonte and Rob Davis.
For Issues #1-2, readers were introduced to Modena Elkea, a mystic who envisions a dark anomaly that consumes all in its path. The premonition prompts the sage to enlist the Er-Keety, colonists who reside within the Elgin Nebula, for they are the key to quelling the approaching danger. But first the Er-Keety must be located, and to fulfill that quest, a group of Science Warriors is dispatched. Beyond the Stars is their story.
For Issue #3, Fortier is again assisted by the artistic talents of the aforementioned Bormita and Mike W. Belcher, who now place their protagonists in a strange craft, the Gnik-tu, which is hosted by the spectral Slous. Slous informs the warriors of cosmic creatures called swimmers, and how the heart of one such entity propels the vessel. In turn, this symbiotic link appears to hold the ancillary means to aid the warriors toward their lofty goal.
Beyond the Stars #3 overflows with heightened mystery and surreal suspense, thus reinforcing the saga as one of the best, space odysseys to manifest in years.
I'm ecstatic that Issue #3 found its funding, for it would've been a travesty if this inspiring, space opera had ended prematurely. It's nice to know, too, that its creators are planning three, additional chapters.
Beyond the Stars #3's official release is forthcoming. Bizarrechats will post an update as soon as information becomes available.
