The universe is at war, and the native Atolans seek protection from the Eritraxians, with humans on hand to assist the indigenous population. In the midst of this turmoil, the human Caladin, harbouring an important secret, falls for an Atolan, and his actions will decide the fate of the world, and its people.

Though this second issue is set in the same universe as the first issue of Stellarlands, the story stands alone. So, though it may help to have a bit of background on the intergalactic conflict, and the super-powered individuals involved in it, there’s no need to read the first issue before reading the second.

Ben Worrell’s detailed and realistic art, complemented perfectly by Wilson Go’s colours, help to fully immerse the reader in the alien environment and the conflicts at the heart of the story.

Max Ferrada’s script is great too, giving readers a heartfelt story, which has some genuinely touching moments.

It’s excellent stuff, and feels pretty unique in its blend of sci-fi, war, romance and superhero action. I’m definitely looking forward to checking out more Stellarlands, with issue 3 launching on Kickstarter soon (you can sign up for the prelaunch here).

Many thanks to Max Ferrada for providing me with a copy of Stellarlands #2 for review purposes.
