Nightmare!

DC Comics’ BIONICLE® #21 is out and it’s a nightmare — literally!

The City of Legends saga takes an unexpected and abrupt turn away from the B2 storyline in this “Part VI” episode. Having jumped out of the airship to escape the dark hunters and VAHKI, TOA VAKAMA is actively engaged in a vision at the start. It is a nightmare of a vision which peeks into the TOA’s webby future.

No sooner does TOA VAKAMA return to reality than the Tahtorak appears. As you may recall, the Tahtorak is Justin Lamb’s BIONICLE® Rahi Challenge Grand Prize-winning entry. The three free TOA METRU battle the Tahtorak for several pages before one of TOA VAKAMA’s disks, used in an unusual way, sends the Tahtorak back the way it came from.

I am used to the novels veering off on these tangents, but it was quite a surprise to see this comic fail to really touch on any of the established 2004 storyline. Things are gearing up heavily for 2005, the 50th anniversary of the LEGO brick, and this comic sets up that storyline more than anything else. More on that in the next article.
