Faster Than Light, Issue #6 and Issue #7 I bought some time ago, and I don't even know if the comic is still going. I do know that there was five-issue second arc that begins with Issue #6. I read and enjoyed the first five issues, but although I bought the next two issues, I never read them. Issue #6 begins with the crew back at Icarus Station where Capt. Forrest is stripped of his command for refusing counsel orders. The comic then flashes back a few days to the incident which got the captain in trouble. They are on an underwater world, trying to communicate with the locals, who live underwater. Issue #7 continues the arc.
I've only read part of the second arc so far, but I really think that it's the superior of the first arc. This series, along with Hadrian's Wall, reminds me of why I like science fiction. There are new worlds and new species, but it's really the human aspect of good science fiction that makes science fiction good. It took some time for the characters to catch on in this series, but they definitely have by the seventh issue. I'll have to buy the rest of the arc when I buy comics today.
