Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Emperor Zoz of Io has ruled his ruthlessly expansionist empire for 1,000 years, inflicting on the disparate cultures near Jupiter one domineering government. Now Zoz has tired of the endless struggle, abandoning his throne to his indolent, slacker son, Zing, who has the good intentions and easy confidence of youth but is ultimately incompetent. General Grymak, equally incompetent but far more ambitious, deposes him within hours of his ascension and Zing finds himself on the run, fleeing through an empire collapsing along ancient fault lines and struggling to survive the violent chaos he helped create. Turner's Jovian system is no more limited by the actual Jovian system than Loony Tunes was by physics, and the antics here have a similar elevated energy. Turner has less fun with his unsympathetic characters; Zing's poorly considered reforms embody incompetent liberalism, and girlfriend Moxy Comet may be the most carnage-happy supposed pacifist in recent memory. The violent and xenophobic imperial subjects are little better, and the over-all effect is of somewhat nihilistic laughter in the face of inescapable folly. Turner's imaginative CG art gives the dark goings-on a quirky spin.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

James Turner has been writing and making up stuff for years and years, since even before there was Twitter. By night, he’s a doodling writer and fan of sci-fi, steampunk and fantasy. By day, he works for the dreaded Morning People.

James enjoys cycling and cross-country skiing, but has foresworn the latter as it always seemed to involve getting up before 6 AM.

James drinks a lot of coffee.

In 2005, James wrote and illustrated Nil: A Land Beyond Belief. He followed whacky dive into modern nihilism with a quarterly comic book about a butt-kicking librarian. Next was Warlord of Io, a sci-fi epic about a kid emperor who just wants to be a rock star.

James is high-concept all the way.

His dystopian comic Hell Lost (also known as Rebel Angels) is about a counter-revolution in the Infernal Realm.

His work has been optioned by Warner Brothers and Walden Media.

Humble and modest to a fault, James rarely waves about the awards he has won in front of guests to his home. He spends his spare time thinking up silly things, loitering in art galleries, and writing wild and outlandish bios in the third person.

Thank you for reading his tightly plotted ramblings.
