The Fiah ’s Exodus mission is a noble one , to remove sentient races from their doomed satellite and relocate them to a good preserve . But Ethma and Endi ’s assignment on Earth is troubled from the starting signal , though their crew of accidental human stowaways is the least of their problems when the total Exodus mission takes a tragic twist .
Ran and Cory Brown’sThe Endseems at first like an exotic drollery of errors when the austere and cranky Ethma and the sweet but inexperienced Endi of the Axca first arrive on Earth , especially when their data point - gathering mission takes them straight to a scientific discipline fiction convention in the heart of Ottawa . Thanks to a wiped out cloaking gadget , an motley of humans wanders onboard , including a telly actor , an raging college kid , a pattern security official , a cosplayer thinking about hanging up her wig , and a new kinfolk going through an emotional harsh patch .
But this is n’t just a story about humans learning to get along with their semi - unwitting alien abductors . The Browns have construct up a much , much larger existence beyond the convention doors , and the size and stakes of that creation become clear when the Exodus fleet is deal a devastating snow from an unknown source . short , Ethma and Endi ’s priority have radically changed ; they must run on home with their human prisoner in tow and not all those captives are ready to follow along softly .
And as the Browns elaborate their worldly concern , they compound our savvy of the lineament and the orotund conflict they face . Although there is a familiar alien fair setting ( and they render exotic speech in a particularly delightful means ) , it ’s given just enough of a turn of events that , when we see human being - shape character , it ’s far more unnerving than seeing stranger with more beast - like forms . And while the independent direction might be on the crew of the Axca , the camera once in a while shifts back to Earth and to other exotic crowd , so that we understand that there are somebody with personality , whimsy , and desires involved in these human race - spanning conflict before we exhaustively understand the nature of the disputes themselves . The Browns can be guilty of the occasional information - dump ( as in a recent arc ) , but for the most part , they show a restrained hired man , get us get to know their fictitious character on an inner level before pulling back the curtain on the prominent write up .
As they slowly pull back that curtain , it seems that while The End is a with child - scale , large - bet foreign difference tarradiddle , it ’s also a potentially frightening one from the human perspective . While one alien chemical group has a rather unbiased view of humans , viewing them as they would view any sentient backwash whose planet is in peril , the other takes an acute interest in humanity , perhaps due to a shared remote chronicle or a freakish biologic queerness . The question is whether humanity is train for such attention , whether they will be absorb as pawns for an alien polish , destroy , or if , with the help of friend , retain their independence , even if it mean savour that independence somewhere other than Earth .
