The world is cracked and in ruin. The air is full of dead men's ashes, fallen colossi smother the earth with their decayed husks, and infectious monsters roam freely. In their desperation, a group of alchemists have created a killer named Sym from obscene magic, outfitting her with an engine that will allow her to travel back in time to stop whatever it was that made their world so. But the alchemists don't realize that the engine is sentient, that their unstoppable killer is powered by the seed of their destruction.
The bit from the publisher is pretty much all the story you
need for this one. Reading the panels
doesn’t really divulge much more in the way of plot. In many instances, the artwork told a better
tale than the writing within and the writing seemed a bit distracting. Reading this comic I couldn’t help thinking
it reminded me of something I read a long time ago. When I came across another review that
likened it to the tales within Heavy
Metal, it clicked (I guess it’s been too long since I picked up an
issue).
That being said, if you are a fan of the truly bizarre with
a whole lot of blood and gore, not to mention random jumps in time with an
ass-kicking half naked female warrior that just won’t die, this is the tale for
you!
Truly compelling artwork within. I’m not really sold on the storyline and the
jury is still out if I will pick up Volume 2, but that is a decision for another
day…
