Look what came in the mail today!

What do you mean by SC1? As in their armour design?

Yeah.

Oh, and remember the discussion we had about "races' ken"? Well, this is mentionned in "Void in the Darkness"...

EDIT: Looks like Duran might be part of something that acts like an "Overmind", but can control anything (Even humans and protoss). It is not Xel'Naga, but something that despises it. The alien in "Voice of Darkness" speaks alot like Duran spoke to Zeratul in the Dark Origins secret mission. (Note, this creature is considered "Dark", too. This could show that Duran is an alien just like the one in this story...)

I don't expect these to be good works of literature. I'd rather read a classic.

This is basically poorly written material based in the Starcraft Universe with a bunch of funky lore as the main appeal that will never appear in game.

StarCraft Frontline, Volume 4. =D

And it even contains a short preview from the SC: Ghost Academy manga.

is that a comic book or a book?

EDIT: Started reading the second story and noticed it showed some SC1 marines in one of the small panels! WTF?

Reapers were designed 5 years "ago", so that would be Brood War era or even slightly before.

[Alex06]

Hmm maybe I'll pick this one up, I read the first one and was disappointed in it.

Yeah, first 2 weren't that amazing. The 3rd and 4th ones are actually more interesting.

is that a comic book or a book?

A manga, which is sort of a comic book.

That explains it...

ah I ruled out manga couse of you said something about ghost acadymy manga (dont ask why I found that logical I dont even understand my logic at times)

ah the pocket book manga type? quite thick I mean,
are the frontline serie good? is it when jim steals the hyparion?
just asking if I should buy the serie or not

[sandwich_bird]

Bought it 5 minutes ago, reading it right now.

[PhanttoM]

Boo...we don't get it over here for another month and a half.

I've never been a comicbook reader, but about 2 motnhs ago I bought Frontline 2 and 3, and thought they okay. (Loved "Do no harm")
I'm looking forward to this one, mostly for the sake of the Raynor story.

[sandwich_bird]

Done reading it, it was pretty good imo. Raynor story is kinda dispointing though, way too short but wow he must be so old. I mean he's probably like 50 something right now.

Also, I guess this is the last frontline they are gonna make? No mention were made of a possible volume 5, they only talked about ghost academy which doesn't look that interesting imo (mainly because I'm not a fan of the arts).

[Kimera757]

Raynor is about 33 years old now.

There will only be four Frontline volumes, so this was the last one.

Raynor didn't steal the Hyperion in any book, but it was described in Queen of Blades.
