Writer Ron Fortier and artist Rob Davis continue their inventive, Boston Bombers saga in Issue #2, from Redbud Studio.
This release is, in fact, a revival of a popular title that Fortier conceived many years ago, of which the late Harlan Ellison was a fan. The adventure depicts a group of female, secret agents for the Catholic Church, working in cahoots with the League of Nations, a world power in Fortier's parallel scheme.
To add to The Boston Bombers' unique flavor, its foundation depicts Christ having manifested as a female, who's accepted by the Jews as their unequivocal Messiah. In addition, WWII never occurred, and the Roman Empire has continued its governing influence over the centuries.
For the second, Boston Bombers installment, readers are treated to a magical prelude on the first (alternate) Christmas, and then are flash-forwarded to the Bombers preparing to commemorate the big holiday, as aviatrix Indra Divine is summoned to Boston to visit her mother for a briefing on the recent, New Delphi coup. (This meeting further reveals a startling secret, which was forged with Indra's mother by the discerning Cardinal Mutongo.) Meanwhile, in regal Roman South Africa, the treacherous Senator Rufus Iturius encounters the lethal Pavol Lavoca, who holds information on the "missing" Princess Augusta Kumana and with such, a strong-arming proposal.
The gripping segments are specialized and contrasting, but together they blend in a manner that's seamless and exciting in the best, Bondian fashion. Fortier's storytelling, in this respect, is as crisp and profound as ever, and Davis' artwork is nothing short of exquisite.
Don't miss out on this awe-inspiring, alternate-history epic. Order at
