Taarna is most definitely inspired by the classic comics Amazon, albeit without the diplomacy and more willingly brutal. Both in terms of plot and characterization, this comic feels like a mix of Gail Simone’s Wonder Woman and the classic Conan The Barbarian sword and sorcery stories. It’s obvious how much Stephanie Phillips is drawing from her influences in “Taarna” #3, and I don’t necessarily mean this as a bad thing. “The beginning of Act Two where Taarna, the lone protector of the multiverse, and her new ally are pushed to their limit to save a plnaet from destruction, while the chaotic leader called Urcuss takes his army to destroy everyone standing between them and the ultimate weapon for their lord and master, Kako! This is the story of a millenia-old battle between godlike beings, with all sentient life caught in the path.” Writing & Plot With colors from Jessica Kholinne and letters by Marshall Dillon, “Taarna” #3 is a relatively forgettable but still completely entertaining affair. This newest chapter in the Heavy Metal published comic series starring the cult classic heroine is an entertaining but completely predictable read in terms of its cosmic-fantasy script, but it’s held aloft by its incredible visual work and some really rad concepts. Writer Stephanie Phillips is joined by artist Christian Rosado for this third monster and bloodshed-filled issue of “Taarna: The Last Taarakian” #3.
