Primordial

From acclaimed writer Jeff Lemire and artist Andrea Sorrentino, Primordial is a six-issue Image Comics series that reimagines the Cold War space race through a chilling sci-fi lens. Launched in 2022, the story follows Laika, the Soviet space dog, and two American astronauts who mysteriously vanish, only to be pulled into a cosmic mystery that defies human understanding. Sorrentino’s haunting, atmospheric art complements Lemire’s taut, speculative narrative, making this a standout entry in their collaborative body of work. It matters as a thoughtful, genre-bending exploration of isolation, history, and the unknown, anchored by two creators at the peak of their powers.
