About the series
In this sci-fi epic from Boom! Studios, humanity has expanded across the stars, but the only way to navigate the cosmos is by harvesting the corpses of colossal, god-like beings. The story follows Captain Malik and his crew aboard the ship The Vihaan, who make a living by stripping these dead giants for resources. Over its three-issue run (2021–2023), writer Al Ewing and artist Simone Di Meo craft a haunting, philosophical tale about exploitation, belief, and what happens when you find a living god where only death was expected. It's a visually stunning, thought-provoking series that reimagines space exploration as a grim, industrial enterprise.
