The talented Mike Maihack has been teasing his new webcomic project for awhile now, and it finally went live on January 25th. You may have seen Mike’s fun Cow & Buffalo, a strip he previously put out and for which he apparently still has some plans.
But his new project is one I’ve been looking forward to called… Cleopatra in Spaaaaace! It’s sci-fi adventure goodness in all its glory, my friends. Mike is obviously an amazing artist – that is plain to see. So far the writing seems pulpy and fun. You’ve got Egyptian style in space, Cleopatra as the main character and her sidekick cat Khensu. But let’s let Mike give you the skinny:
“Zapped away as a teenager from her home era of 52 BC, Cleopatra VII found herself in the middle of a centuries’ long war in the far, far, really far, far future. Now she fights alongside P.Y.R.A.M.I.D. (Pharaoh Yasiro’s Research And Military Initiative of Defense), both human and alienkind’s only hope against the evil Xaius Octavian.”
Pretty fun stuff. There’s more, but I’ll let you discover that over at Mike’s site. I love Mike’s artistic style, it’s loose and full of energy. I only wish he would do more in color, but I for one know how much work that is and I’m sure his plate is pretty full. Here’s some graphic goodness to get you going, then head over and get caught up before you fall behind.
