About the series
A single-issue debut from Virgin Comics in 2008, The Econauts presents a satirical take on environmentalism, following a group of self-styled eco-warriors whose well-meaning activism collides with the absurdities of global capitalism. Written by Alan Goodman with art by M. Subramanian, the series explores the tension between genuine ecological concern and performative, market-friendly "green" initiatives. Its sharp humor and pointed critique of consumer culture make it a distinctive, if brief, entry in the publisher's experimental lineup.
