“Father Meanswell” is a thrilling comic book that follows the adventures of Reverend Second Class Ernest Meanswell, Sister Sergeant Corra Seed, and their android friend Eighty O’Eights (8008S). As a proud member of the Universal Church of Truth’s Poor Order of Marines Missionary, Ernest is no stranger to danger, and he is used to being killed, uploaded, and reprinted over and over again. However, when a printer jam cripples most of his fleet, Ernest begins to remember things he was meant to forget, and these new memories change how he sees his mission and the organizations he supports and works for. Always intending to be the “good guy,” Ernest begins to wonder if maybe the Missionary Marines are the “bad guys,” and he sets off on a journey of exploration into the universe in which he was born, as well as a journey into the exploration of the human spirit. With action, drama, and a deep exploration of the nature of good and evil, “Father Meanswell” is a must-read for any fan of comic books.
