Starcadia Quest #3
SCORE: 62
I am very thankful I had the money to purchase a copy of the
Starcadia Quest #3 comic book. I am also thankful I had the time to read
and review Starcadia Quest #3. As ya'll know the first issue did not
impress me much. The second issue improved upon things a little bit. The
third issue may be the last issue of this series. I did some research
and was unable to find any information on this comic book series
continuing.
There will be spoilers in this review. Starcadia Quest #3 feels so
disconnected in terms of the story. There is a recap on the back cover
of Starcadia Quest #3. Then we get into the story and we see the
characters that are invading this planet. From there we go to the team
that this comic book series has been following. We find out about the
Peeks. These one eyed creatures grow huge when there is fighting nearby.
Guess what has been happening in Starcadia Quest #3? The main characters
have been fighting off robots. Then the invasion begins. We also meet a
friendly robot that guides the characters to the wrong ship. He gets
confused from time to time. The Peeks attack and the heroes must combine
the two ships to de-age them. Once that is done they are no longer a
threat. That is until Octocolds are dropped on the planet.
What are the heroes to do in Starcadia Quest #3? They replicate all of
these holograms on the planet to make the invaders think they are
outnumbered. Then the crew bluffs the invader into thinking they are
real. So the bad guy leaves. The crew gets a M.E.D.A.L. Which looks a
bit like a walkie talkie. The comic ends with: "The End(?)". I have not
seen another Starcadia Quest comic book for months.
This other team arrives and brags about completing the mission our
heroes were supposed to do in a previous issue. There is some violence,
and lying within Starcadia Quest #3. Many of the names in Starcadia
Quest #3 are cringe worthy. For example Hannah Lone has been by herself
for years. Her back story is interesting though. I hope this is the end
of this disconnected story with twenty pages of content.
