Ocean / Orbiter: The Deluxe Edition #[nn]
"Orbiter" from Warren Ellis and Colleen Doran’s *Ocean / Orbiter: The Deluxe Edition* presents a haunting, grounded mystery: the long-lost Space Shuttle Venture returns to Earth a decade after vanishing, its sole survivor John Cost the only living link to its fate. As an investigative team probes the shuttle’s eerie, alien-like encasement, they uncover a secret that could redefine humanity’s reach into space. The striking cover by Michael Golden captures the enigma, while Doran’s art and Stewart’s colors lend the story a quiet, otherworldly tension.
