Siverline's Beyond the Stars #5 is here, thanks to writer Ron Fortier, artist Andrea Bormida, letterer Mike W. Belcher and colorist Angelo Veccarelli, who continue the epic space opera, with variant covers by Bromida, Rob Davis, Thomas Florimonte, Jose Fuentes and Mickey Clausen.
In previous, Beyond the Stars issues, readers were introduced to a group of science warriors intent on stopping a cosmic anomaly from consuming all that crossed its path. To succeed in its mission, the brave band embarked to find the Er-Keety colony, which holds the key to resolve the matter, but locating the colony proves more difficult than not, with many unexpected obstacles in wait.
For Issue #5, "The Woods, the Wind & the Water," our heroes have penetrated an inner dimension which holds the first of three vessel batteries needed to power their cyborg ship, the Gnik-tu. However, humongous insects emerge from the untamed terrain and flank the crew at every turn, and that's not the worst of it. A towering, Talos-type entity manifests with combat skills our protagonists may not rival.
"The Woods, the Wind & the Water" taps the adventurous spirit of Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica, embellished by memorable monsters crafted in the Flash Gordon and Star Wars traditions. Indeed, the combination creates a page-turning experience that few contemporary comics match.
Beyond the Stars #5's wide release is forthcoming, but the wait will make its advent all the more exciting, and keep in mind, Issue #6 (the saga's big conclusion) is right around the bend.
