"Ardent fans of complicated weird-west comics,
like East of West, or interesting alien worlds, like Black
Science, will want to give this one a whirl."
-Booklist
“Drifter
is the kind of deep worldbuilding sf mixed with elements of pulp Westerns and
esoteric philosophical musings that is sure to hit the sweet spot for readers
looking for a cerebral dose of action.” - Library
Journal
In its frantic rush to
survive itself, humanity has spread across the universe, colonizing and
strip-mining countless planets. Abram Pollux barely survives a crash landing on
Ouro, a lawless backwater world where life is cheap. After miraculously
surviving not only the crash, but also a one-sided gunfight, Pollux finds
himself in a ramshackle town, filled with other survivors shipwrecked on this
strange, barren world. There he meets Marshal Lee Carter, an earnest woman
giving her all to maintain order, a grizzled Preacher, convinced that Pollux'
coming is a sign from God, and Emmerich Bell, the man who shot him down not
moments after he dragged his body from the wreckage of his ship.What starts, as
a struggle for survival quickly becomes a journey to the very edges of what it
means to be human, as Pollux searches for answers among the ruins of this
forgotten world. And if he can't have answers, he'll at least have his
revenge.
From the creators of
Viking, writer Ivan Brandon (Wolverine, Men of War) and
artist Nic Klein (Captain America, Thor) reunite to bring you a
chilling sci-fi tale from the strangest planet in the universe. Collects
Drifter #1-5.
