Description
When MNGR First Class Joao da Silva arrives on
the moon of Titan to take charge of Homestead Station, he finds the massive
mining colony plagued by tensions between the giant, genetically-engineered
Titan workers and the Terran management. As anger mounts, what began as a
routine posting quickly turns into something far more
dangerous.
Phoebe Mackintosh thought she left
her fighting days behind her when she turned her back on the
"mixing" circuit. Now, she finds herself caught between a past she'd
rather forget and a future she can't
predict.
Together, they must find a way to
pull Homestead back from the brink of disaster... Or Titan might be the spark
that sets the entire solar system ablaze.

Reviews / Votes
"This blend of indie art and sci-fi social commentary will appeal to fans of the Bitch Planet and Paper Girls series." * Publishers Weekly * "A spectacular science fiction comic." * The Comics Beat * "Vigneault beautifully illustrates inter-class dynamics, and, in doing so, foregrounds the very human relationships that make Titan more than a bushel of techno-babble." * Paste Magazine * "It's that blend of the human moments with the plausible futuristic technology that leaves us so invested in Titan and the ultimate fate of its labor force." * i09 * "A smart, stylish, political sci-fi romance thriller." * The Comics Journal * "Vigneault's (The Immersion Program) decision to establish his cast and world at a slow burn over the first few chapters pays dividends in the high-stakes second half of this thoughtful and unabashedly political sf thriller." * Library Journal *More details
