Protector #4 – 2020 continues the intense, post-apocalyptic journey with a focus on the dark mysteries surrounding the ancient war machine, Mari’s evolution as a reluctant hero, and the frail hope of survival in a world ravaged by both human greed and the remnants of a lost civilization. Written by Simon Roy and Daniel M. Bensen, with powerful visuals by Artyom Trakhanov, this issue raises the stakes even higher, while delving deeper into the fractured world and the characters who shape its future.

In Protector #4, Mari is increasingly confronted with her pivotal role in the conflict that has been brewing since the first issue. As new allies and enemies surface, the moral complexity of the world becomes clearer. The tension between personal responsibility and survival weighs heavily on her shoulders, and the ancient war machine, once a symbol of power and destruction, begins to reveal deeper, more catastrophic consequences. The brutal world around Mari is reflected in the evolving narrative, where every choice seems to lead to an uncertain and often devastating outcome.

The writing continues to excel in Roy and Bensen’s hands, offering both action-packed sequences and introspective moments that explore themes of power, trust, and fate. The larger narrative begins to take shape as the survivors grapple with not only the machines of the past but the dark, eternal cycles of conflict that repeat throughout history.

Visually, Artyom Trakhanov once again delivers stunning, gritty artwork that perfectly captures the tone of the story. His detailed linework and emotive character designs breathe life into the dystopian world, while the colour palette — rich in earthy tones — immerses the reader in a world where every action has irreversible consequences. The pacing of the panels and the clever use of layouts keep the narrative flowing smoothly while maintaining a sense of constant tension.

Protector #4 is a powerful continuation of this post-apocalyptic tale, offering both action and deeper philosophical musings on technology, power, and the cost of survival. It’s an essential issue for fans of complex, character-driven sci-fi that blends personal stakes with a larger, world-shaping conflict.
