FLUX.

A hard boiled sci-fi thriller, with Blade Runner meets The Expanse meets Game of Thrones vibes.

A character focused story, against the backdrop of an abandoned earth, as we begin to unravel a hidden truth behind Earths demise. It not being what is commonly known.

The Ballad of Halo Jones, volume 1 This is one of those 2000 AD series that I've heard about several times over the years, and now I've finally read it. This volume contains ten chapters (2000 AD is an anthology magazine, similar to Shonen Jump, so each chapter is fairly short), which comprise a sort of origin or prelude, taking 18-year-old Halo from her home on the Hoop to the very beginning of her journeys in space. The story takes place in the 50th century, on a ring-shaped habitat called the Hoop, which floats in the Atlantic near New York City. This is a place for people who are down on their luck. Halo shares an apartment with three other women. Most of them dream of going somewhere else, but they don't expect it will really happen. I like seeing protagonists from "lower" economic classes. I expect there are a lot of references to life in the UK's council flats that goes over my head. The stories start off as purposely confusing, to get across how strange this future is. Space travel seems to be commonplace (though not affordable by many), and at least one species of alien lives on Earth. Dialog is littered with invented slang, which was a bit off putting, but it does make more sense over time, and it decreases as the stories continue (at least in this volume). Some of the stories are pretty comedic, but take a very serious turn just before the end, then closes on a hopeful note. I like Halo, and I want to see where the next volume takes her. I also like seeing the setting slowly revealed. There are some cool science fiction ideas here, and even the ones that don't appeal so much to me are still interesting.

The 2D vs 3D contrast of the sonic and shadow generation hubworlds cracks me up the more I think about it

Cult Classic Creature Feature AS the title suggests, this is an homage to old monster movies, particularly those with a touch of outer space. It's a lot more lethal, though. Back in dinosaur times, some aliens dumped a giant monster on Earth. Now it sleeps at the bottom of a lake outside a small American town. Sometimes, if a meteorite lands nearby, the monster wakes up, and really bad stuff happens: parasitic slugs, skeletons ripping out of their bodies, real apocalyptic shit. I quite liked this one, even if some characters got darker endings than I wanted. It wears its love for the source material on its sleeve, but also makes it feel contemporary.
