BALLADEER'S BLOG
A reader requested that I review the Marvel Comics sci-fi dystopia/ alien invasion series Killrave, the Warrior of the Worlds. I already did from 2019-2020, but in honor of New Year's Eve here is a look back at that review, which was posted on New Year's Eve of 2019 into 2020, the exact date that the story itself was set on.

AMAZING ADVENTURES Vol 2 #37 (July 1976)
Title: Arena Kill
Synopsis: NEW YEAR'S EVE, 2019 into 2020, which is why I held off the extra day or two to post this review, since I wanted it to actually appear on the REAL December 31st, 2019.
Northern Florida, in the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge along the Suwanee River. Killraven and his Freemen continue their guerilla uprising against Earth's alien conquerors. They have encountered another of the pitifully few bands of humans who also defy the aliens.
We jump right into the middle of some action, as Killraven is pitting his sword against the two battle axes wielded by Brother Axe, the leader of this rebel colony. Brother Axe's dozens of followers and Killraven's own Freemen stand in a large circle around the combatants, watching the battle.
The cause of the conflict soon becomes clear - Brother Axe is skeptical that Killraven really is THE Killraven, the world-famous scourge of Earth's alien conquerors. He suspects KR and his band may be fakers trying to bamboozle him or - even worse - undercover human quislings trying to pinpoint the location of Brother Axe's rebel band so they can betray the band to their alien masters.
