Rogue Satellite

Chris Reilly and Kevin Atkinson’s three-issue Rogue Satellite, published by Slave Labor in the mid-1990s, explores a world where a wayward communications satellite begins broadcasting strange signals that disrupt the lives of those on Earth. The series blends offbeat science fiction with the indie comic sensibility of the era, offering a compact, atmospheric story driven by Atkinson’s moody art and Reilly’s lean, unsettling narrative. While brief, it stands as a curious artifact of Slave Labor’s eclectic line, showcasing the label’s willingness to publish unconventional, creator-driven work.
