Bloodseed #2: Blood Feud

November 12, 2018 Leave a Comment

Bloodseed was a 2-issue mini-series (that was probably supposed to be more) published by Frontier Comics, an imprint of Marvel UK, in 1993. The series is about a barbarian couple named Lysander and Ellissya – he wears nothing but a metal helmet and a loincloth, she wears…nothing. They were once rulers of a place called Elysium, but they’ve lost their memories, save a few fragments.

This is unpleasant

Issue #2

As Lysander fights a Cthulhu-looking monster in a labyrinth, Ellissya is literally left out in the cold (and yes, she’s still nude).

You forgot your coat!

She climbs a tower and makes it inside, reaching Lysander and saving him from another, non-Cthulhu monster.

Oh look a…whatever that is

This is where things get weird(er). There are talking, technologically advanced apes here who seem to know what’s going on.

Ape people because…why not?

They say they can help get the barbarian people’s memories back, but Ellissya doesn’t trust them. Frankly, she’s rude about it.

Very rude

She attacks a beast man while a helmeted ape looks on saying “good, the Bloodseed will be ours.” He messages a cyborg dinosaur man in a space ship and invites him over to Earth.

This is how it all ends – with a cyborg dinosaur in space

Thoughts

Yet another ugly ’90s comic that doesn’t make any sense, like Shadow Riders and Sisters of Mercy. My friend unloaded these comics on me, and now I see why. This one, like the others, was hard to follow and filled with “what the hell?” moments. It got to the point where I just started skimming all the words – it’s not like they’re going to help me understand what’s going on!

Average, nothing special but inoffensive.

Spoiler Alert

I spoil (near) everything in my reviews. If you want to remain spoiler-free, I advise you to close your eyes. But did you know that spoilers are actually good for you?
