Shakara! is a science fiction comics character appearing in the British magazine 2000 AD, starring in their own eponymous story, who was created by Robbie Morrison and Henry Flint.
The story is technically set in the present day (the first episode briefly shows a contemporary Earth; it is destroyed on the first page, and the last human in the universe, a survivor from the International Space Station, is ignominiously killed on the third), 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.
All installments are written by Robbie Morrison and drawn by Henry Flint.
Paul Scott and Ben Clark have created 3 Shakara Photo-stories that are available online from 2000 ADs website.
