"LOST IN THE WILDS OF HEAVEN," Part One
Being a space trucker sounds like a cool job, but in reality, it can be boring as hell. So when recently widowed Gil gets a long-haul gig across the universe, he figures it's safe enough to bring his young son Kadyn along for the ride—that is, until their "big rig" gets bitten in half by a gigantic Space Leviathan! Now separated from his son—with a breached suit that's venting oxygen at an alarming rate—Gil must defy the odds and stay alive long enough to rescue Kadyn. But meanwhile, Kadyn seems to be getting all the help he needs from a talking Space Monkey riding a Space Dolphin… or maybe it's the strange powers he's suddenly manifesting?!

From the writing duo of JASON AARON (SOUTHERN BASTARDS, Thor) and DENNIS HALLUM (Cloak & Dagger, Vader: Dark Visions), with dazzling art by STEPHEN GREEN (Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.) and cosmic colors by RICO RENZI (Spider-Gwen), comes a brand-new science fiction series with all the scope and heart of the The Neverending Story crossed with the imaginative weirdness of Miyazaki—an intense, galaxy-spanning adventure that's suitable for fans of all ages!

SERIES FINALE

"NO AUTHORITY BUT YOURSELF," Conclusion
Grant McKay has seen everything there ever was, is, and could conceivably be, but he still has one final choice to make.

This is it. The end of RICK REMENDER and MATTEO SCALERA's seminal science fiction epic—featuring a stunning wraparound variant cover from ANDREW ROBINSON! Don't miss it for the world.

Select praise for BLACK SCIENCE:
"A must-read for Remender's fans or anyone thrilled by bizarre and compelling sci-fi." —Booklist (starred review)

"There is a lot of meat to this book… The dangers are real. People die. The worldbuilding is solid even though we're jumping through different realities. Each of those worlds pops off the page and has their own distinct look and feel." —Kirkus Reviews

"This is a solid adventure tale." —Publishers Weekly

"Anarcho-scientist Grant McKay and his team have ruptured membranes between dimensions and are trapped in an infinity of universes in this sickeningly beautiful graphic novel." —Entertainment Weekly

"BLACK SCIENCE is best read tucked inside something respectable and boring. Why let the outside world know you're having this much fun?" —Patton Oswalt

No spoilers here, but our epic conclusion features 44 PAGES OF ORIGINAL STORY WITH NO ADS, and we can't wait for you to read it. Thanks so much for riding with us!
-Brian, Cliff, Matt & Jared

Select praise for PAPER GIRLS:
"Its tone is harder, flintier, funnier, more pragmatic, and far less concerned with idealizing the 'lost innocence' of childhood [than Stranger Things and Super 8]." —NPR

"An awesome selection for older teens and adults looking for an exciting sci-fi tale with unexpected twists." —School Library Journal

"A reminder of how fresh and accessible even the most familiar stories and tropes can feel." —SLATE

"A total blast, a mass-cultural mash-it-up that evokes everything from B-movie creature-feature thrills to vintage YA angst to the pop-plundering album covers of Hipgnosis… Chances are you'll get sucked into it, too—especially if Stranger Things…has whet your appetite for more Reagan-era intrigue." —WIRED

"You all should be reading BRIAN K. VAUGHAN's [and CLIFF CHIANG's] PAPER GIRLS comic series now." —The Los Angeles Times

"Utterly gorgeous." —The Guardian UK
