Synopsis

In 2035, a strange space capsule has crashed in the Indian Ocean with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin! Who, then, are the men who came back from the 1969 Apollo XI mission? In the second instalment of the science-fiction trilogy, Helen Friedman sets off for the Moon to look for answers. Due to a Russian message, the mission ends up on Mars. Meanwhile, on planet Earth, Sofia, her daughter is disappointed by her mother's choices. She decides to run away from home.

Review

Well, this story doesn't disappoint. The intrigue keeps building as the tale unfolds, but rather than answering all the questions it poses many more, allowing the narrative to unfold in an almost dreamy pace. The artwork is uniformly superb and heightens the atmosphere adding so much character and realism to the story.

But, yet another cliff-hanger!!! This, to me, is the one downside to these graphic novels, they need to be far longer. Just when I've gotten into the story, the chapters over and I have to wait for the next one to be released!
