BOOM! Studios announced today KNOW YOUR STATION, a brand new five-issue limited series from the highly acclaimed writer Sarah Gailey (Eat the Rich, Magic for Liars), with star artist Liana Kangas (TRVE KVLT) that takes a stab at the ultra-wealthy, their dreams of escaping the very planet they’ve put in peril, and the consequences of a future that might not be so far away, available in December 2022.
Death is the great leveler, even for the 1%… the wealthiest people in the solar system abandoned the Earth for a private sanctuary in space, leaving the rest of us to die amidst cataclysmic climate change. But the ultra-wealthy won’t be safe for long…
A murderer is on the loose, specifically targeting the super-rich! Soon, Elise, an employee of the Avulsion Corporation, is wrapped up in a deadly investigation, with each issue of this outrageously macabre series featuring a new, diabolically different kill!
