What does it mean to be an environmentalist after the world has already ended? For Callum Israel, leader of the Ninth Wave oceanic activist group, this is the question that cuts to the core of his identity. In a post-war, post-Crash, post-disaster, post-everything world, nothing is certain and ideologies are meaningless. But the mission remains: search this crumbling world for answers to the cause of the Crash, and keep up the hunt for their missing sister ship, The Massive, lost and adrift in the chaos.

The oceans are rising, economies are collapsing, wildlife is dying off in huge numbers, and America has gone off the grid. The environmental group The Ninth Wave (similar to Greenpeace) has lost contact with o...
I knew Brian Wood from his Northlanders and X-Men work, so when I heard he was starting a comic based on a post-apocalyptic environmental dystopia I was sure I'd eventually get to read it and probably like it. As luck had it, this was the first comic I got from NetGalley to review and I must say my ...
