Still, the comic generally avoids large walls of text when it tries to give an exposition dump. Also, notice the glory of Luna-style grammar

At least it wasn't full on sentient talking chimps like in Probability Broach. There are a few HIGHLY politically charged elements here and there, mainly around the main character's visit to earth's moon – because we’re shown that the moon's government is horribly corrupt and its people xenophobic and merely told that their economy in ruins, while the main characters are of course civilized, sophisticated and always able to conjure up endless amounts of money.īeltapes: Totally not a thinly veiled allegory for brutish and dumb space niggers. What it can be rated on is: 1) whether it does that at the cost of the comic and its story – and 2) As with The Probability Broach it can be rated on how far-fetched the utopian vision/straw-maning of its opposition it presents is.įor volume 1 through 3, the initial story arc, then these two issues don’t actually come up that often – but they are there. Any kind of propaganda comic will invariably strawman its opposition, and present the things it does like in the best way possible. Rule one of a comic with a political agenda is that you can't really 'debate' the politics in a review of that comic – it will always be one-sided, that’s a given. This is also why this review will cover the comic’s writing before going into story and plot: This will be explained further in the story and plot section for the various story arcs - lets just say that when the comic started featuring 2015 youtubers, it jumped the shark really fucking hard. The story that came afterwards, volume 4, took a huge dip in the quality of the writing - putting political commentary far above good story progression. When volume three ended, we got a nice wrap-up to a four and a half year long story. Though, it doesn't take much to go from batshit fantasy-land political propaganda to slightly less batshit political propaganda, and make no mistake: All of the Quantum Vibe stories are political propaganda. This comic seems to basically be the artist going 'I can do better than that' and then. On the plus, then it seems to be the least offensive of all the comics there.īut ok, Scott Bieser, the guy who writes and draws the comic, also drew The Probability Broach - but very important: He did not write the Prob Broach.

To this end it was only a question of time before this comic came on the chopping block. This wiki has several reviews from comics that had come out of 'Big Head Press' - the libertarian/An-Cap online media publisher. There are worse political propaganda comics on this wiki, and its less insane than The Probability Broach or Escape From Terra, but not for a lack of trying - likely more from the guy making it having seen the others and (sometimes) learning from their mistakes. The setting itself is somewhat interesting, being original sci-fi. Anything bad that happens to them, including decapitation, is ultimately fixed with little to no permanent issues due to magic sci-fi bullshit. Volume 1-3 is fairly good sci-fi, with not too much overt political bullshit (but lordy its still there) - but after that the comic takes a steep nose-dive, which keeps it from earning a higher rating.Īll main characters have extreme plot-armor. Also unlike the Probability Broach then in this he's a lot better at not drawing the bad guys as grotesque villains, but 'merely' as villains and letting their actions speak for them instead. Just like The Probability Broach then this comic is quite well drawn, and its clear that Scott isn't a bad artist.
