Nerd Escape experiences the displacing Image Comics title Prism Stalker from creator (writer and artist) Sloane Leong, letterer Ariana Maher, and logo designer Darius Ou. Prism Stalker is a unique sci-fi fantasy story that is told through new and unfamiliar ideas about culture displacement and a psychedelic kalidescope of art work and colors, yet this description of Prism Stalker is only just scratching the surface of the theme of the story. Your host Jublar and Cami walk you through the strange and exotic world of Prism Stalker where a space refugee character named Vep is recruited by a military academy named The Chorus to help colonize and combat the newly discovered telekinetic planet of Eriatarka. This planet uses its ecology and pneuma energy source to fight back The Chorus invading colonizers, and Vep and the other recruits train in physical and mental combat utilizing the pneuma energy as well. With the character Vep struggling through Chorus training, culture displacement, and an identity crisis Nerd Escape hosts ask themselves if they have experience culture displacement in their own lives, and if they could handle the rigorous training and pressure that Vep is experiencing at the Chorus Academy.
