Faster Than Light, Issue #8 sees Earth attacked. A creature called a Boerboe sought asylum with the Earth government, only to blow itself up in Issue #7, taking part of Icarus Station with it. The new mission of the crew to find out why. They start out at Angelus Tube, a Freeport space station shaped like – you guessed it – a tube. Specifically, they venture out to a bar on one of the oxygen levels. There they meet a variety of aliens of various degrees of friendliness.
This series really is picking up. Ever since the "Cantina"scene in the original Star Wars movie, creators have been outdoing themselves making new and more strange-looking aliens. Faster Than Light is no different, and this issue is a highlight of the second arc. It's also pretty funny. I meant to buy Issue #8 to Issue #10, but the comic book store only had this issue. I'll have to pick up the rest of the ark the next time I go to a different comic book store.
