Shakara


Shakara! is a comics character appearing in the British magazine 2000 AD, starring in their own eponymous story, who was created by Robbie Morrison and Henry Flint.

Plot

The story is technically set in the present day, but revolves around a host of bizarre aliens using very advanced technology.
In the first series little is explained about the lead figure other than it is nearly indestructible, seeking out and destroying other aliens for reasons unknown. In the second series the character is shown to be some kind of liquid being encased in the suit. By the third, it becomes clear that 'Shakara' is an instrument of vengeance created by a now-extinct race of the same name, although the being is beginning to think for itself. Shakara is eventually killed by Cinnabar Brenneka, the legendary warrior who first united the Shakara in their conquest of the galaxy to cleanse it of corruption, and then allied with his former foes to destroy the Shakara, disgusted by their own descent into decadence.

Comics
