Colonia #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the early issues of the 2002 series Colonia, a science fiction tale set on a distant planet where colonists confront strange islands and anomalies that challenge their understanding of the world. Written and illustrated by Steve Niles, the story blends exploration with eerie, otherworldly phenomena.
In "Landfall," Jack and his uncles survive a shipwreck only to be taken aboard a pirate vessel they ultimately destroy. Stranded on a strange shore, Jack encounters a talking duck, spectral figures, and a man seemingly carved from fish, before being captured by yet another crew of pirates.
In "Over and Under," Jack is swept overboard during an attack on Captain Reed's ship, only to be pulled into a world beneath the waves by a mermaid who claims he’s slipped sideways. When Captain Reed and Cinnabar later rescue him from a rock, Jack finds himself caught between two realities—one above the sea, one below.
In "Reunion," Jack faces a trial with his uncles for destroying Cinnabar's ship, but a mysterious golden egg—gifted by Lucy—might be the key to turning the tide. Written by a standout voice and brought to life by the distinctive art of the series’ interior artist, this story weaves tension and mystery into a moment where past choices and hidden connections could change everything.
In "A Marooning," Jo and her uncle Jack face a desperate trial, using gold dust from Lucy’s golden egg to pay a debt to the enigmatic Cinnabar. When a ghost ship suddenly appears on the horizon, the crew seizes their chance and sets sail—abandoning everything behind.
