Title: Durga The Geomancer: Free PreviewPublisher: Creative Impulse Entertainment
Date: 2008
Creators: Jan C. Childress, Kevin Thomas
A young woman in New York City chats with her mother, discussing the daughter's odd ability to predict the weather and natural disasters.
Meanwhile something shifts deep beneath the Atlantic, and a government agency receives a tip that an old case file has reopened.
I was amused by the political prognostication of this title, written in 2008 and featuring a future where Hillary Clinton is President and Barak Obama is Vice President.
In all seriousness, though, the dialogue between Maya Simone and her mother at the beginning of this preview felt natural and managed to avoid most of the obvious cliches. The story did a nice job of building tension while sprinkling in enough background to keep it interesting.
The ending seemed a bit sudden, and it would have been nice to get a bit more of a taste of the mayhem which appears to be on the way.
But all in all, this felt like the beginning piece of a pretty engaging story.
Rating: 7/10
