Uncharted Comic Series #4

 By Mark Rodriguez

Oh no! The Amber Room is in pieces, what is the group going to do now? Fix the plane and leave? Or attempt to look for Agartha and the Hollow Earth?

The beginning starts the issue with memories retelling about the Amber Room and Agartha and the Hollow Earth. But back to the present, the Amber Room and Michael's hope to fix his family's name are destroyed. Sully appears behind Nate and Chloe asking what's with all the screaming. The two explain that the Amber Room was destroyed. Sully is not surprised. Chloe asks about when they can leave, but Sully explains that the plane was really damaged on the landing.

Michael is furious and grabs Nate. He suspects that Nate knew that the Amber Room was destroyed the entire time and was being deceitful. Rose grabs the gun out of her brother's hand and points towards a door.  A door to Hollow Earth maybe?

Nate comments that maybe Byrd was on to something. Rose and Nate looks closer at the door and the drawings on it. It's a map of the underworld. There is a drawing of the "second sun". Michael tells the guards to keep an eye on Nate and Chloe before he heads back to the destroyed pieces of the Amber Room. Rose approaches him and tells him about what can behind the doors. Michael won't let the destroyed Amber Room and broken dream go. Rose attempts to explain that there is something bigger to find, which is the "second Sun" and it's legend. If a person touches this second sun, they will know the secrets of the universe. The siblings argue about being trapped underground and the legend, while Nate and Chloe investigate the map further.  They find a gem on the floor, with the light from the flashlight, it opens the door. The two decide to sneak through before they get caught, but they spoke too soon. The guards that were on babysitting duty attempt to stop the treasure hunters, but are easily knocked out.

Michael and Rose leave the tent, still arguing about their situation. Michael is ready to leave, but Rose is determined to stay to look for the Hollow Earth. Michael complains that she's starting to sound like Nathan Drake and points to where they left him. They notice the empty spot and open door. They won't get away that easily! They follow behind our two heroes. Nate and Chloe catch Michael screams, and continue forward. But Chloe stops to inspect a drawing on the wall. It depicts the arrival of Byrd along with legend of the "Smokey Gods".  They wonder if the doors were meant to keep something inside.

The group of bad guys caught back up to Chloe and Nate, making the two run deeper into the cave. The two are running toward a light and discover a pit of lava. The only way to cross is a plane acting as a bridge. There are only two options, Face the Doughtys or cross the bridge. While they climb down to the plane bridge, Chloe asks about why the Doughtys hate Nate so much. He explains about their ancestors and the grudge. Nate asks a question of his own, which is why she's here. She makes up a few excuses before asking why they even brought her along. Here comes a flash back. It was right before they left for the North Pole. Nate and Sully are discussing about if they should trust the girl, but Nate has a feeling that they can trust this random girl.

Back to the present again, and Nate and Chloe are past the bridge. Chloe continues on, but without paying close attention to where she walks, she falls down a hole. Nate climbs down the hole to the bottom, finding a rope midway to help get down and finds Chloe laying unconscious. 

Chloe is alright and gets up. They question about the rope, but the Doughty's have caught up. Michael tells them that this adventure is over, he is ready to get his revenge. The final panel reveals sets of red eyes watching the group.

My thoughts- 

Since this is a short series, so Paige's final opinion will be on the final issue. As for me I'm entertained by the story and Chloe's antics here and there. I'm not sure how much leeway there are between the comics adventures and the games, but this could have been an ongoing series, or at least had a second mini-series that takes place after Uncharted 2 and maybe another after part 3.

Arachna# 1 Review *Spoilers*

 By Mark Rodriguez Here's another awesome comic from independent artists that opened up an Indiegogo to get it started. I usually don't chip in unless it looks real good, like you just know they're gonna hit their goal. Arachna, a sexy superheroine with a split personality and an amazing art syle, sure looked like a good pick for me.  With lots of clever marketing in advance, even getting a person to dress as Arachna herself to bring the character to life, they hit their goal the same day they actually opened the Indiegogo for donations. I chipped in for the comic and the shirt, and here is my review on the latest superheroine that's bringing sexy back to comics, Arachna! Also note, while I'll try to keep my language as tame as I can, this book deals with way more adult stuff than I usually discuss on this blog. The Adventure Begins The issue opens with Jennie lying in bed naked in her apartment, a noticeable pile of sketches lying on the floor. She awakens to a voi...

SNK VS Capcom Chaos Volume 1

By Mark Rodriguez We'll be seeing a few crossovers this month, and we're gonna start with one based on a crossover videogame. If you think the Malibu SF comic series was kinda sloppy, this one was literally all action, pin ups and splash pages, and what little story in it is just plain weird. I'm talking about the SNK VS Capcom Chaos comics made by Happy Comics, translated by Japan and produced with supervision from both SNK Playmore and Capcom. But first a brief explanation on the game this was inspired from. In 2000, Capcom produced Capcom VS SNK Millenium Fight 2000 which would throw the fighters of Capcom and SNK at each other. Unfortunately, aside from Morrigan from Darkstalkers and Nakoruru from Samurai Shodown, the game felt more like Street Fighter VS King of Fighters. Capcom later made Capcom VS SNK 2 Mark of the Millenium with even more characters and variety as well as different modes of play. SNK made their own game, SNK VS Capcom Chaos and it offered a bit more...
