Celestial Mechanics #1

In the 27th century, space travel is controlled by the Halplex Corporation—until a young mechanic named Widget stumbles upon a forgotten starship and reactivates the long-lost spacedrive technology. Meanwhile, on Luna City, cadets Terebinthia, Shan, and Flange are nearing graduation, but their final days take a sharp turn when Flange’s ex-boyfriend, Tristan Bok, arrives with a deadly mission: eliminate the hacker exposing Halplex’s secrets. Written by Kurt Wilcken and illustrated by Gary Washington with inks by Keith Aiken, Celestial Mechanics #1—cover by Gary Washington—launches a story where rebellion begins with a broken ship and a single encrypted file.
