The beginning of
Ehmm Theory #2 from
Lost Story Studios is a flashback to 1982 where Aaron Ehmm, Gabriel's father, is a college student full of ideas. He catches the attention of two Russian sisters, Dominika and Alyona Tarasov. The scene shifts to the present with Gabriel Ehmm and his talking kitten, Mr. Whispers, riding in a car with Alyona, who is telling the story. She tells him of Lanny, the night shift janitor that was once in the military. He told Aaron and the sisters of an expedition to the South Pole where the team encountered a talking rabbit. Aaron is intrigued because he had theories of other planes of existence and plans to go to the South Pole.
A giant lobster with machine parts attached to its claws and back attacks the car with Gabriel and Alyona. She retrieves a strange gun with large ammunition from a briefcase. Before she can fire the weapon, two shots are fired elsewhere. Members of G.O.D.D. (Guardians of Dimensional Defense) spring into the battle and take down the giant lobster but Alyyona puts it out of its misery. The team consists of Mindwolf, Thermal Ghost, the Alchemist, the EMP and T.A.M.M.I. (Technologically Advanced Mechanized Military Instrument). The funniest moment is when Mr. Whispers and T.A.M.M.I. gets into an argument. G.O.D.D. wants Gabriel to go with him but Alyona manages to convince him to continue with her. The two teams go their separate ways.
The final scene of
Ehmm Theory #2 finds Peter, who gave Gabriel his mission talking to his true boss. Seems that all is not what it appears to be. I will not spoil whom the big boss is but it deepens the mystery of what is really going on in this series.
The art and story of
Ehmm Theory #2 is just as great as the first issue. Brockton McKinney and Larkin Ford are very talented and this book shows that they can keep the momentum going. This issue also gets an A+ from me.
