Knights of Sidonia

In the far future, humanity clings to survival aboard the massive generation ship Sidonia, hunted by the monstrous Gauna. This Vertical-published series, running from 2013 to 2016, adapts Tsutomu Nihei's original manga into a 15-issue comic, with Nihei providing the art alongside writer Kumar Sivasubramanian. The story follows pilot Nagate Tanikaze as he defends his drifting home against alien threats, blending Nihei's signature biomechanical design with space opera tension. It matters as a key English-language presentation of Nihei's work, making his post-apocalyptic vision accessible to a new audience.
