Raj Comics’ ‘Last’ series is a great story in the world of Indian comics, which not only tested the power of superheroes but also completely put their moral values, decisions, and existence at stake. By the time the seventh issue of this series, ‘Universe Oblivion,’ is reached, the story takes a complicated turn where the laws of the universe, i.e., the ‘Universe Code,’ have been broken and the whole of humanity has been ‘transfused’ (displaced) onto different planets. This issue tells the story of reuniting scattered heroes and understanding the true face of that ‘invisible enemy’ (perverted).
Detailed analysis of the plot: Multidimensional conflict
The story of this comic runs on four different fronts simultaneously, giving it the feel of a grand Hollywood ‘crossover’ movie. Every front is important in itself and pushes the entire story forward.
Nagraj and the Parmanu vs. Pepius (Bloodthirsty Planet)
The story begins with a fierce battle. Nagraj and the Parmanu face ‘Pepius,’ an extremely powerful protector of the planet Pypson. A completely new form of Nagraj’s combat can be seen here. He not only fights using his strength but also turns science into a weapon. He deliberately allows Pepius to cut him so that ‘microscopic serpents’ can enter his body and the data associated with his molecular structure can reach Parmanu.
This part clearly shows that Nagraj is not only a warrior but also a thinking, scientific fighter. At the same time, the ever-increasing powers of Parmanu help in understanding and decoding this data, allowing both heroes to find a way to control those bloodsuckers.
Anthony’s (Papa Ferry) onslaught
Anthony, in the desolate forests of Earth—here called ‘Papa Ferry’—emerges as a symbol of bloodlust. Anthony’s character adds a sense of ‘cosmic horror’ to the entire series. He does not fight like an ordinary man but attacks his enemies like a soul burning in the fire of revenge. The scene of a huge wolf-like monster being torn apart by him truly gives goosebumps, thanks to Sushant Panda’s powerful artwork. Nagraj and Nuke begin to realize that this terrifying and uncontrollable power of Anthony may prove decisive in the coming war.
Planet Mactriam: sacrifice of Doga, Steel, and ‘Mister Chem’
The most emotional and important part of the story takes place on the planet Mactriam. Here, Doga, Inspector Steel, and members of the ‘Super Squad’ like Nauratna, Dubey, and Koyla are imprisoned. The ‘Macrobots’ of Mactriam deceitfully force these heroes to surrender and then poison the air of the entire planet.
It is at this point that the character of Mr. Rasayan (Mister Chem) emerges as a true hero. He himself is suffering from blood cancer and knows that his death is certain. He does not want his destined death to go in vain. He transforms himself into a ‘chemical catalyst.’ The chemicals from his body purify the poisonous air of Mactriam, allowing the remaining heroes to breathe again and ultimately win the battle. This sacrifice by Mr. Rasayan becomes the most emotional and memorable high point of the entire comic.
Bheriya, Shakti, and Pole: The Secret of the Primitive Planet
On an unknown planet, where Bheriyaand Shakti are battling primitive humans, Super Commando Dhruv enters the scene. Dhruv uses both his Superman-like mental strength and Vanputra’s love for nature. He quickly understands that these primitives are actually ‘over-shadowed’ by the ‘Perverted’ (see-through) villain, i.e., they are under mental control. Dhruv’s strategy here is very clear: using only the enemy’s numbers and power against him.
Cosmos Code: Mythological and Scientific Integration
This issue contains a major revelation of the ‘Universe Code’ (The Universal Code) through ‘Kara.’ This Raj Comics storyline connects the mythological history of the comics with modern science. Kara explains that Lord Brahma had created different realms for gods, asuras, and humans. An asura who was defeated in Tretayuga as ‘Vikratal’ is now reborn in Kaliyuga as ‘Professor Ibrit Vikral.’
The use of the Brahm-particle (God Particle) breaks that ancient boundary, creating ‘cosmic imbalance’ throughout the universe. This concept elevates the story beyond a simple superhero action tale into a deeper and grittier metaphysical discussion.
In-depth analysis of the characters
Parmanu (Vinay): Parmanu emerges as the real hero of this series. His atomic rings are no longer just weapons, but have become a kind of transmission channel to bring back humans scattered across the universe. His body is on the verge of breaking under the pressure of this immense energy, but his courage and will remain steadfast.
Super Commando Dhruv: In this part, Dhruv plays the role of a unifier, i.e., the link connecting everyone. He establishes mental contact with heroes trapped on different planets and tries to lead them toward a common goal.
Perverted (Villain): The fear of Perverted reaches its peak in this issue. He targets the heroes’ weaknesses in an invisible manner, staying in the shadows rather than coming out and fighting directly.
Drawing and color combination
The artwork of Sushant Panda and Tadam Gyadu makes this comic truly ‘larger than life.’ Especially the scene where Parmanu takes millions of humans into space as a shield of energy, which astonishes readers with its sheer grandeur. Anthony’s fighting style and the chemicals emerging from Mr. Rasayan’s body are depicted in a very graphic and realistic manner. At the same time, the color combinations by devotee Ranjan keep changing with the mood of the story. From the cool blue aura of Mactriam to the frightening gray tones of Earth’s forests, the colors everywhere deepen the impact of the narrative.
Writing and dialogue
Stuti Mishra has translated Nitin Mishra’s vision into very balanced and well-crafted words. The seriousness of the dialogues remains consistent throughout the comic. Especially the exchange between Doga and the Macrobots—
“You may be advanced in technology, but where will you get this passion?”
Critical assessment: merits and shortcomings
Positive side:
Mr. Rasayan’s sacrifice leaves readers emotional and heart-touched. Also, bringing almost every major hero of Raj Comics—like Tiranga, Gagan, Adig, and Chekku—into this great war is an excellent example of magnificent universe-building. The capture of Parmanu’s body by the Perverted at the end also leaves the story on a tremendous cliffhanger.
Downside:
The story runs simultaneously across multiple planets, due to which some readers may find it a bit difficult to stay continuously connected to the narrative. Moreover, scientific terms such as ‘atomic restructuring’ and ‘molecular mapping’ may prove slightly overwhelming for younger readers.
Conclusion: a courageous step towards closure
‘Universe Oblivion’ is not just a comic, but a testament to the creative heights of Raj Comics. This issue teaches us that when a crisis becomes extremely large, sacrifice is often the only price by which humanity can be saved.
The end of the comic is extremely painful—Parmanu, who risked his life to save everyone, has now become the ‘host’ of his own worst enemy, the Perverted. Now the question is whether Nagraj and Dhruv will be able to fight their own friend, Parmanu? And will humanity ever be able to return to Earth?
This issue completely stuns readers and prepares such a strong foundation for the final closing issue, ‘Universe Code,’ the wait for which will be remembered for a long time.
Final rating: 5/5
