Caliban #2 (Avatar Press 2014): Garth Ennis & Facundo Percio
Caliban #2 is a "senses-shattering" escalation in Garth Ennis’s foray into deep-space horror. Following the "mind-blowing" collision in the premiere issue, the crew of the mining ship Caliban finds themselves trapped in a "weird and twisted" nightmare where the laws of physics and biology no longer apply. At White Dragon Comics, we secure these "investment-grade" Avatar Press titles to ensure the "visual fluidity" of this claustrophobic masterpiece is preserved for your collection.
The "Mind-Bending" Sci-Fi Horror Aesthetic
Writer Garth Ennis (creator of The Boys and Preacher) and artist Facundo Percio craft a "stupefying" atmosphere of dread that pays homage to classics like Alien while introducing "weird and twisted" new horrors.
-
The Visuals: Percio’s detailed line work captures the "pulsating" tension of the ship's corridors and the "senses-shattering" gore that occurs when two ships—and two different realities—merge.
-
The Horror: This isn't just a monster story; it’s a "mind-blowing" exploration of "weird and twisted" transformation and the cold, indifferent cruelty of the cosmos.
-
Collector Appeal: As with many Avatar Press titles, Caliban is known for its "investment-grade" variant covers, including "Wraparound," "Terror," and "Design" editions that showcase the "visual fluidity" of the ship's haunting architecture.
Issue Summary: "Contact" Part 2
In this "senses-shattering" second chapter, the survivors begin to realize that the "mind-blowing" accident was just the beginning of their troubles.
-
The Merger: The crew attempts to navigate the "weird and twisted" wreckage where their ship has fused with an alien vessel. The geometry is "stupefyingly" wrong, leading to "mind-bending" spatial anomalies.
-
The Infection: A "senses-shattering" presence has entered the ship, and it isn't just hunting the crew—it's changing them. The "visual fluidity" of the body horror elements in this issue is particularly "weird and twisted."
-
The Mystery: As lead character Saner tries to maintain order, a "mind-blowing" discovery about the alien ship's original occupants suggests that something "stupefyingly" ancient and malevolent has been awakened.
