Title: And the plot thickens...
Review: A Distant Soil is the tale of Liana Scott, a young girl who is heir to the collected psionic powers of an alien race. She allies herself with a rebel faction and, with the aid of a ragtag band of humans (ranging from a Jersey cop to the legendary Sir Galahad), she prepares to help lead a revolution.Ms. Doran weaves a story of psionic battles and political intrigue, all rendered in her sumptuous illustrations. A Distant Soil is probably best known for its art, a stand alone in the world of comic books. Her drawings contain a realism rarely seen in comic books, a realism that is propelled into the fantastic by the gorgeous cosume designs and extravegant sets.The villians are horribly evil and sometimes the story becomes a bit of a space opera, but the character of Liana helps to ground the tale and makes it engaging from start to finish.
