The Hard Switch

"Ada, Haika, and Mallic are on a mission . . . one last mission, before everything, everywhere shuts down. They're raiding old, abandoned spaceships and wrecks for the (sometimes-expensive) parts - and they make just enough money to get by. But living their nomadic, exploring life isn't sustainable when they can't afford fuel anymore. The time is coming when the mineral that makes inter-system jumps possible runs out. When it does, the scattered inhabitants of the vast galaxy will be stuck where they are. Everything will be different . . . unless the discovery in the latest wreck Ada, Haika, and Mallic are scavenging can unlock a whole new kind of interstellar transit."--Provided by publisher.

Publisher Marketing: "Owen Pomery's art--the landscapes, the scale, attention to detail, and spartan but central use of primary colors--is reminiscent of Moebius. Pomery is a master at telling the story visually." - Rapid Transmission Review Quotes : " The Hard Switch is an astounding achievement. Owen Pomery was born to make sci-fi. The drawings and story captured me in a way few comics ever have." -- Tillie Walden, On a Sunbeam Review Quotes : "Strikingly inventive science fiction set in a twilight era... The balance between cartoonish simplicity and convincingly detailed is refreshing, as is the spaghetti western presentation of the setting." - The Beat Publisher Marketing : Now in Paperback!
