In humankind ’s galactic age , a 2d Spanish Empire holds office over the Drive – an railway locomotive that makes interstellar locomotion potential . But while the Royal Familia keep on the Drive ’s workings secret , the fearsome Continuum jeopardise to reclaim its stolen engineering .
143 geezerhood after Conrado Cruz line up a lost Driveship – whose Continuum driver took an errant particle of ore to the wit – an amnesiac critter without a name or known species find himself in an Imperial prison house .
Luckily ( or perhaps even more unfortunately ) he ’s locked up with Nosh , an Armada science officer accused of murdering the human Emperor . Soon he ’s been busted out by the crew of the Machito and discover that he has an innate power to guide the Driveships ( which are prone to jar with the occasional object in distance ) .
Driveis the latest webcomic from Dave Kellett , Almighty ofSheldon , a comic about a tiddler billionaire and his duck – and there ’s some of the silliness that you might expect from a creator with a fondness for mouth fowl .
Nosh has Yakov Smirnoff lecture patterns thanks to an unvoluntary stint in Russia , and the Machito is captain by an Action Grandma and maintained by a 14 - yr - onetime engineer ( thanks to a principle that only members of the prolific Familia are let to find the Drive ’s workings ) .
But as the series progresses , it ’s clean-cut that Kellett has a more complex account in the works . The Continuum of Lord , original progenitors of the Drive , is an intriguing society that reveres invention precisely because it reproduces through parthenogenesis .
The crew of the Machito has to fence with the probability that the new emperor off the last one , while acknowledging that the Continuum poses a greater threat to the Empire . And then there are the inner workings of the cabalistic Familia , the Empire ’s largest and most dysfunctional crime syndicate . It ’s sure to be a goofy road trip , and one that takes us through an interesting stretchiness of the galactic highway . [ Drive ]
