Starship Down #1 (Dark Horse)

Justin Giampoli (w) Andrea Mutti (a)

Every so often I dip into the world of ancient aliens that gets broadcast on one of the Freeview Channels. Nothing but speculation. I have never heard so many "Ifs" and Maybe's" in any programme. By adding the word "If" to any find a whole story can be made up. Yes there's a lot of unexplained mysteries around the world and I can quite believe tht some of human history has been lost.

However when it comes to aliens I remain a total sceptic. I don't even believe in UFO's in that what people see or think they see is highly unlikely to be alien. I mean why would an advanced civilisation want to prod someone up the anus with some kind of pole or take a bite out of a cow when there are clubs for the former and Butchers for the latter.

That life exists elsewhere in the universe is highly probable given the almost infinite size of the universe. We just haven't proved it yet. So when stories like Starship Down come along it's a great way to speculate through story telling.

This time they find more than they bargain for during a dig. It's no spoiler to tell you they found a spaceship. buried there. This story is to be about the implications for our socities of such a discovery as the arrogance of the Vatican representative illustrates.

One day we will discover that mankind is not alone in this universe. This is just a story while we wait for the real thing.
