These are last two issues of Southern Cross before it was cancelled. I was too curious to see where comic was going not to buy last two issues. Second volume ended with appearance of Southern Cross. Third volume was set up to be Aliens of this series. Tough solders come to Southern Cross to find they are over powered. Just like in Aliens. Southern Cross started to move away from hard science fiction into body horror during second volume. Last two issues continue it. Hard science fiction has been replaced by action and horror.
Can’t say much about story. Two issues set the story arc. You have group of solders and protagonists from second volume on Southern Cross. Aliens occupying Southern Cross passengers and grew try to get both of them. Last issue probably finished introducing all the characters and their goals. Then the book was cancelled.
Don’t know if this didn’t sell well enough or were there other reasons for cancellation. Quality can’t be the reason. Series got better towards end. Last two issues toned down characters’ aggressiveness which was bit of a problem during first two volumes. Don’t know if I can recommend reading Southern Cross because it doesn’t have proper ending. You can check first volume and if you still want more knowing it got cancelled then get the rest. I am glad I read it. Wish there was more of it. It made me fan of Andy Belanger’s art. His art kept me hooked when writing had issues. I will get back to this to study his art.
