The Black Sea Whale # 2

“Ми всі заявляємо про свободу, але, використовуючи одне і те ж слово, ми не всі маємо на увазі одне і те ж”, — за рік до завершення Громадянської війни в США, на церемонії відкриття Балтиморського санітарного ярмарку, Авраам Лінкольн виголосив промову про свободу. 

Можливо, розуміючи, що соціальна хвороба рабства може і надалі заражати Американську республіку, Лінкольн вдався до алегорії, щоби проілюструвати свою думку: “Пастух відганяє вовка від горла вівці, за що вівця дякує пастуху як своєму визволителю, в той час як вовк за той самий вчинок засуджує його як руйнівника свободи… Очевидно, що вівця і вовк не дійшли згоди у визначенні слова “свобода”.

На жаль, повномасштабне вторгнення Росії в Україну (і реакція Організації Об?єднаних Націй на цю неприховану агресію) продемонструвало, що світова спільнота відмовляється категорично відкидати “вовчу свободу” як принцип світобудови. Ми і досі чуємо, як впливові голоси вимагають від України погодитися грати за завчасно програшними правилами, намагаючись урівняти те, що за означенням не здатне важити однаково: права кривдника та права жертви, нападника з рушницею та беззбройного цивільного, китобійного судна та беззахисного проти його вбивчого оснащення (хоч і найбільшого в світі) морського ссавця…  

Попри це, українці щодня обирають боротьбу, і за 11 років, відколи росіяни вперше вторглися на нашу землю, ми виявилися здатними показати світові, як слід реагувати на вовче поняття свободи. У другому випуску “The Black Sea Whale” ми викриваємо фальшивий маскарад, в якому вовки намагаються зійти за ягнят, руйнуємо замки з піску, побудовані на хибній вірі в компроміс зі злом, і вчимося відверто називати речі своїми іменами.

What a ride.
Format: Paperback
How these two come together with the rest of the iconic characters is just so fun. Add in a Screaming Citadel and you're in for one hell of a ride. If you love Star Wars, pick it up. It could read as a stand-alone if needed. Part of the Doctor Aphra comics.

Absolutely top-knotch
Format: Kindle
9.5/10 This is the pinnacle of Star Wars comic books. A great way to tie in their Indiana Jones character in Aphra and the mainline series to tell an amazing story. Only complaint is a couple of the issues artwork I was not a fan of. I like the more realistic look. Just make sure you read Aphra book 1 and the previous SW books to understand it better. Aphra book 1 being more important

Star Wars embraces fantasy
Format: Paperback
This is Star Wars at its' strangest, and that's a very good thing. Luke and co. fighting through what could easily be Dracula's castle is a truly unique experience. I don't wish to say more for fear of spoilers. As a note though you will get more out of this if you've been following the Star Wars and Dr. Aphra comics. However you can get by without that knowledge as well.

Gothic Star Wars
Format: Paperback
This trade paperback collects all the issues for the Screaming Citadel story spread over several titles, including the main stay Star Wars series and the Dr Aphra book. As one might expect from a story spread over different titles with different artists and writers, the presentation varies. The art is all over the place. In the Marco Checchetto-drawn initial issue, everyone’s favorite amoral artifact hunter, Dr Aphra, is a striking space vixen. But in the following issues she’s hardly recognizable as the same character--mousier, if still menacing, in her trademark Russian tanker’s hat. To a lesser degree, the same is true for the other characters, including the main SW group. It’s understandable, but a bit disconcerting. The story centers on Dr Aphra, who, in need of a Jedi for one of her typically nefarious purposes, recruits Luke into her scheme. Unfortunately for Aphra, she’s up against a more ruthless foe in the harlequin-looking vampire-like Queen of the Screaming Citadel. Before long, the rest of the group has to show up to rescue them. It’s a gothic story, set in scary castle—not the usual Star Wars fare. There are some good points. Dr Aphra’s almost sociopathic outlook is always good for a few choice lines, the “murderous machines” Bee Tee and Triple Zero are on hand for their own gruesome commentary and some of the Queens hench-people, while not given much to do, are interestingly designed. But overall, the horror movies plotline didn’t seem much like Star Wars to me. Recommended for those who enjoy that type of story, or completists.

Luke and Doctor Aphra team up!
Format: Paperback
This is the second crossover event in the Marvel Star Wars comics. It brings the ongoing Doctor Aphra and Star Wars series together. I liked the pairing of Luke with Aphra. They play well off of each other with Luke's naive goodness and Aphra's experienced gray morality. I liked when she called him a wannabe padawan. There are some well designed characters in this comic. The residents of the Screaming Citadel have a goth bdsm vibe. Luke even gets to dress up. I liked seeing him in something different. I want to know more about Sana and Aphra's past!!! Please, Marvel, make a queer love story prequel!!! The murder droids are wonderful. Having them on the same side as the "good guys" for at least the time being led to some funny situations. The last panel intrigued me. I give this graphic novel a 4/5. I am always here for more Doctor Aphra!
