Aftershock And Awe
Just finished reading "Aftershock And Awe" released by Anderson Entertainment.
BLAM! Ventures originally created these two comic books based on the classic science fiction show that are collected here in this hardcover edition.
This groundbreaking retro-reintroduction to the sci-fi hit series from the early 1970s begins with Awe – an adaption of Space: 1999’s pilot episode, Breakaway.
Now expanded to include both new and un-filmed material, this revolutionary retelling of a sci-fi classic is illustrated with the remastered art of comics legend Gray Morrow and the great Neal Adams’s own Continuity Studios.
In an alternate universe where JFK was never assassinated, humankind has suffered through World War III and built a base on the Moon by the year 1999. It should be noted that there is no reference of this "alternate universe" in the original run of the show, but it is mentioned n the Big Finish audio series that followed these comic books by BLAM! Ventures.
On September 13th, 1999 – an atomic accident causes the Moon to be blown out of orbit and hurled into the unknown. The survivors of the lunar base stationed there are launched towards their destiny across the stars. But what of the cataclysm and wanton destruction caused to the Earth in its wake?
The story continues in Aftershock as nine lives are forever changed by the carnage left in the Moon’s wake. Aftershock explores the scientific, environmental and socio-political repercussions of a world left with no Moon.
This edition of Aftershock and Awe also includes a never-before-seen look at BLAM! Ventures un-produced follow-up comic series, Mission: Alpha that includes a story line that would have lead up to a Space: 1999 Year Three. What is interesting about this Mission: Alpha series is that it would have made all the novels in the Powys Media Space: 1999 books series canon.
Strongly Recommended!
Five Stars!
