Our graphic Novella is set on the ocean world of Miramar, far in humanity's future. With 90% of the planet's surface covered by water, there are few land masses to slow down the high winds and powerful ocean currents, making surviving on the planet difficult. But there's one sleepy little archipelago, in the wind shadow of a volcanic mountain range, that provides the people of Miramar a home.
It is on the Island of Bilbao, in that sleepy archipelago, where the story begins. The island awakens one day to find their bakery aflame - and their town baker, Varga, kidnapped by pirates! Not only that, but the pirates have managed to steal all of her sourdough starter, too!
The town Priest-bot, Father Frank, has been increasingly on the outs with the villagers, ever since his reactor broke and they had to switch him to an ethanol generator (consuming half of the island's liquor, just to keep him running). But Frank has a path for his own redemption - a RESCUE PLAN!
Set in the same sci-fi universe as HABITAT (Image Comics, 2016) and GRIZ GROBUS (self-published this very year, to great success—300% funded), Miramar is another tale of life after the collapse of the interstellar empire. But Miramar asks a unique question: Can good food reform a tribe of cannibal pirates?
