The first arc of what is a new ongoing series concluded with
this issue. In Kelly Yate’s first creator own work, we have a somewhat
interesting story, but nothing special. Over the last several months I have
watched the iFanbase quickly lose interest in this title. In my quest to seek
out new titles I remained steadfast.
I found the plot to be Star Wars-esque and overly convoluted
to try and make up for the simplicity. Our female protagonist meets up with not
just one male counterpart, but TWO! There is some dickhead who tries to take
over the galaxy. I say dickhead because; from the very beginning it was obvious
what he was going to do. This clown goes down faster than an Iraqi fighter
plane.
There is a nice little fight scene with Amber and the alien
that killed her father, but at the same time we miss a fight scene with one of
her guy friends and a chase scene with the other. After Amber defeats her
father’s murderer, the trio regroups and they each explain what happened.We never see what actually happened between
her two friends, we just get the recap, wtf?
I say Star Wars-esque, Amber is similar to Luke Skywalker,
trust me.
Now how about some good things, I didn’t buy and read four
issues just to trash Kelly Yates, hell no! There were futuristic weapons that
were pretty cool, and big fucking alien space creatures that could inject there
toxic venom into a planet’s crust and make the whole place uninhabitable within
the hour!! Loads of aliens, space ships, and an intergalactic police force, not
too shabby.
Overall it’s a cool little story and am curious what the
future lies for Amber Atoms. Personally, I would like to see some on planet
exploration, maybe Amber Atoms meets the mole people, I don’t know, I just read
them I don’t write them.
Art was ok, I think it was the colors that messed things up.
There seemed to be too many shadows on everyone.
