Nika can’t understand William’s language, which is a nice realistic touch. Suddenly they encounter each other in the jungle. When they enter the Incan temple–which appears primitive to both of them (despite the presence of an alien race on Nika’s planet)–it quickly becomes clear that there is something mysterious going on. They’re explorers, and they push on despite the opposition they each face in their respective time periods. The original teaser images (which can be seen on Lemire’s blog) even have the tagline “The Last Love Story Ever Told.”įrom the start it’s clear that the two share a maverick spirit. Lemire has said that this is fundamentally a love story, something that can be obscured by the grand science fiction trappings. The fantastical means of their meeting, and their resulting relationship, form the core of the series. William Pike is a soldier in 1921, trying to recover from his experiences in the Great War, and seeking a fabled lost Incan temple. Scientist Nika Tensmith searches for the rare Trillium flower that is thought to hold the cure for the dreaded sentient virus that is on the verge of annihilating humanity. The story begins in the year 3797 on a distant planet. Trillium is an eight-issue miniseries based upon a very creative sci-fi concept, involving teleportation across both space and time.
