EC Cruel Universe 2 #2

by Chris Condon, Sami Kivelä (Illustrator), Claire Roe (Illustrator)

For millennia, mankind has yearned to explore the stars. Foolish humans—that was your first mistake!
Like a stray space capsule that’s unexpectedly escaped our solar system and is now cursed to rocket forward at ever-escalating velocities that will slowly reduce its crew to a slick film of goo, EC Comics proudly presents a new roster of callously cosmic tales positively oozing with pain, paranoia, and the pent-up regret of human ambition! To copilot this doomed survey of the stars, join writers Chris Condon (Ultimate Wolverine), Melissa Flores (Power Rangers Prime), and Dave Wielgosz ( The Brave and the Bold) as they execute the logarithmic calculations that could save our explorers . . . only for the danger-defying artists Sami Kivelä (Abbott), Claire Roe (EC’s Epitaphs from the Abyss), and Riley Rossmo (Harley Quinn) to bear witness to inescapable galactic calamity of their all-too-human hubris. Whoops!

[Nick LeBlanc · Rating 3 out of 5]

ALIEN starts this issue off strong with cool art and a classic sci-fi conceit. But then HAM RADIO nearly sinks the whole ship. Maybe I am to blame but I really didn’t understand what this story was getting at. ART’S SAKE is a bit obvious but also features some fine bloody art.

Read as a single issue with the Bermejo cover.
