On Mars

Edition excerpt from On Mars Complete (2026): Welcome to a future, where the true natures of mankind prove to be inescapable no matter how far you travel in this explosive sci-fi prison drama by brilliant creators Sylvain Runberg (Warship Jolly Roger) and Grun (Space Relic Hunters). Who is really in control? And can anyone truly claim a planet on the verge of forced evolution? In 2132, life on Earth has reached the limits of sustainability. Colonizing Mars has become our only option, and the construction of such a significant enterprise has required massive resources and manpower. The most cost-efficient solution to this requirement is conscripted labor provided by convicted felons—early access to humanity’s future homeworld, but in exchange for the back-breaking and perilous work of constructing the damn thing. Officer Jasmine Stenford is sent to Mars and sentenced to conscripted labor for a wrongful death committed on her watch. With little defense against the corruption on Earth, she has no idea what sort of nightmare awaits her on the red planet... This complete edition features the complete story, as well as a 48-page production sketchbook by artist Grun drafted as a prisoner diary.
