Roche Limit #1 Preview: Cosmic Crime

Image Comics has released a preview of Roche Limit, the new sci-fi mystery crime series from Michael Moreci (Hack/Slash: Son of Samhain, Hoax Hunter) and Vic Malhotra (X-Files: Year Zero, Thumbprint). A mix of hard sci-fi and crime noir, Roche Limit looks to blend 2001: A Space Odyssey with Blade Runner.

Billionaire Langford Skaargard's dream of cosmic exploration is no more and Roche Limit, a colony situated on the cusp of a mysterious energy anomaly, has become a melting pot of crime and terrible secrets. When Bekkah Hudson goes missing, the search to find her will plunge her sister and a cadre of the colony's underworld figures into an odyssey that reveals a grim future for mankind.

"This is a book I feel like I was meant to write," said Moreci. "If you like great sci-fi, and if you love a good mystery, you cannot miss Roche Limit."

Roche Limit #1 goes on sale in September.
