Another Comic Book. For the uninformed: EVE Online is science fiction Massive Multiplayer Online Games that takes place in the far future, in a region of the Milky Way called New Eden. In this future starships are manned by immortal pilots called capsuleers, whose memories are transferred to new bodies upon death. The story is driven by the conflicts between the factions created by capsuleers. What separates EVE Online from other MMO’s is that the events in the game: The factions, the battles, e...
A graphic novel retelling of a 'true-life' event that happened in a video game... that's some convoluted creation there. And unfortunately, it doesn't do the story justice. I read an article about the events chronicled here, and even with that background, the story, full of double and triple crosses, doesn't come through very clearly. Part of it is that everyone looks similar; part of it is that some characters exist in two places at once (cloning), and part of it is that it is truly a convolute...

I'll agree with past comments that the non-linear nature of the story made it somewhat difficult to follow.
