Synopsis: Kian sees the universe of origin of our human ancestors before the big crush forced them to find our universe.
 
 Class6 is about Queen Izaar, a being created by our human ancestors to safeguard humanity. But there is one problem: she was left with an ancient enemy, the reptilian race, who has tried to eliminate the human race for thousands of years. Now one last war is about to end this bloody circle, but it will happen in our time, more specifically on our planet earth. Queen Izaar's path crosses with these other five individuals who are LGBTQ, and each plays an essential role with the faith of humanity. They must come together with their abilities to join forces with Queen Izara. In the beginning, they are fighting for gay rights. Still, as they discover this more significant conflict, they must decide if they want to save the same human race that has rejected them, killed them, and attacked them for being LGBTQ. In the end, the last fight is for the survival of the human race that lays in the hand of these LGBTQ heroes. Humanity will learn the truth about our existence and origins. We must decide if we want to continue on this status quo of hate and division or if we will finally come together as one race to defeat our common enemy, and become the powerful race we once were. 

 

Review: For the most part I liked this newest edition to the Kraven Comics family. The plot was good, the illustrations were amazing, and I liked the character development. The book was well storied and I feel like I’m getting a lot of backstory, which is what I’ve been craving for awhile now. 

 

However, the beginning is very confusing and, I think because I read all of the other books one right after another,  I never realized how confusing it is in the beginning to not have a recap of the comics. It took me awhile to figure out where I was in this book and at the end I’m left on a cliffhanger again. 

 

Verdict: It was good!
