Shrapnel: Aristeia Rising

A single-issue debut from Radical Comics, Shrapnel: Aristeia Rising launched in 2009 as the opening salvo of a planned series. Written by M. Zachary Sherman, the story introduces a far-future world where a powerful energy source called Aristeia has reshaped global politics, setting the stage for a conflict over its control. Though the series never continued beyond this first issue, it remains a notable artifact of Radical's brief, ambitious push into creator-owned sci-fi.
