The Killing Machine is one of the best science fiction comics I have ever read. The story explores the nature of life in the universe, and does so in an exciting and thought-provoking way.
The Killing Machine is the first book of an epic, thought-provoking, and action-packed science fiction story exploring an age-old question about the nature of life in the universe. In the first issue entitled "I Want to Fly," you met Richter, an Autonomous Robotic Commander (ARC), put in charge of a crew of human soldiers on a dangerous mission. You also met Lieutenant Coni, a battle-hardened veteran with a dark past. Richter manages to land on an alien planet while Lieutenant Coni confronts a more powerful, alien vessel in space.
In the second issue entitled "The Hand of God," scientists discover a mysterious object deep under the ocean which appears to be the source of life on Earth. The discovery of this object, known as the "Hand of God," incites a political battle between the nations on Earth as well as the creation of an international cult who seeks to liberate the artifact.
In the third issue entitled "The Ganymede Anomaly," the threads of the story will be drawn together, revealing more about origin of "The Hand of God," humanity's conflict with the alien race, and Richter's mission to the alien planet. With your help, we can continue to bring this unique and powerful story to life.
The Disciple is the first novella expanding on the story of The Hand of God.
