Uncharted Comic Series #5

By Mark Rodriguez (Originally written by Paige)

Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer are caught between Michael's group and a wall of eyes. What are they going to do now?

One of Michael's goonies gets killed in a mysterious way. Nate grabs the gun from the body and shoots towards the eyes. A figure attacks Nate, slashing his back. Chloe shoots at the figure, but it escapes. Chloe helps Nate walk and he two attempt to find a way out, but are confronted by Michael. He asks Nate where Rose is. The two don't know where she is, but Michael doesn't believe it. Chloe asks for a truce. Nate explains that they need to get back to the plane, but Michael refuses.

Suddenly, Rose appears shooting at a monster, the "Smokey Gods" maybe? She gets attacked and falls onto the ground. The monster gets shot in the head stopping it before it kills the girl. Everyone is distracted with Rose, when another one of Michael's henchmen gets killed. Everyone runs, but before she follows, Chloe grabs a rocket launcher and uses it to prevent more Smokey Gods from coming through. Nate stops, stunned by what he sees.

It's Agartha. The civilization is empty of its people, probably murdered by the Smokey God creatures. Chloe and Nate find a piece of the technology, a flying machine that Byrd wrote about in his journal. Chloe takes a picture of the what they found. Nate assumes this is why she came along for the adventure. Chloe jokes and says she'll explain later when they're on a secluded beach. Nate is shot in the shoulder.

Chloe points her gun toward Doughty. Michael is ready to get his "revenge" for his family and ancestors. Nate tells him, that if he is killed, Sully will refuse to take him. Michael doesn't care, his mind too consumed by revenge. Rose kicks away the gun from Chloe, and the two fight. Rose gives a cheap hit, smacking her against the wall.

Nate and Chloe are placed together and Michael is ready to kill them both. Nate tells them that they won't be able to get out, Michael has it all planned out. He believes he will get out, with his family avenged. No one notices that Rose is approaching the second sun. Michael tells her that they're going to leave. Nate realizes that there is lava behind the wall of diamonds; and that's how the diamonds glow. Rose is fascinated with the wall and her brother attempts to drag her away. But she refuses and shoots him. Chloe asks if this is the time to run, but Nate says that they're still stuck there. Rose grabs a piece of the wall, but the heat from it burns off her gloves. All of her family doubted her, but not now!

Now it's time for Chloe and Nate to run. The lava bursts through the wall consuming Rose and flows towards our heroes.

My Thoughts-

It looks like Rose has the obtained her ultimate goal, but with lava spilling everywhere, will that be her undoing? The story is literally heating up and we'll have to see how Nate and Chloe get out of this one. It's been a good story so far and I love the art that did a great job keeping the general look of the characters from the games.

As previously mentioned, this story concludes with the next one where Paige will be giving her full thoughts on it.

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...

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...

Goshawk and Falconet # 1 (heavy spoilers so beware!)

By Mark Rodriguez Brought to you by the same studios that brought you Arachna # 1 and 2, we get a brand new superhero duo, Goshawk and Falconet. Let's check it out. The story opens with Goshawk and Falconet soaring through the sky just above Santa Monica Bay. They fly towards a ship that is being robbed. Goshawk tells her to secure the cargo while he keeps the guards busy. The robbers are working for a villain named Black Parrot. Goshawk lands between two of them and bashes their heads together. Just then a third man pulls a gun on him from behind. Goshawk retracts his wings which knocks the gun out of the man's hand. Goshawk knocks the guy out while Falconet kicks the guy protecting the cargo. Falconet uses one of her claws to pick the padlock and finds a room full of captured women. She assures them that they're alright now. On the lower decks, Black Parrot and a woman named Secretarybird think their mission is a success. With the harbormaster being bought and paid for ...
