SPINE: The Graphic Novel collects in print the first six issues of Cihan Sesen's comic book, originally released by Ricochet as ebooks. Writer and artist Cihan Sesen sums things up this way: "It's a post-apocalyptic, dystopian future where Spine makes the best of it, and by best of it I mean skydiving half-naked into submarines." SPINE: The Graphic Novel opens with an assignment for mercenaries Spine and Visrian to investigate an ancient oil rig, which is suspected of being a front for the enemy's Submarine SunDrive Complex--a revolutionary energy source the nation states of Ercon and Xoon, as well as a number of shadowy rogue forces, are racing to re-discover after the technology was lost during a catastrophic second Dark Age. In the world of SPINE, nations, cultures, and norms have been destroyed by a cataclysmic volcanic event and replaced by clans who have rewritten religions, reinvented borders, and fashioned new means of warfare from the remnants of the previous world. Influenced by comic satirists as much as by science fiction, Sesen's work is both a hilarious commentary on the post-apocalyptic dystopias we find in film and fiction and comics, as much as a rollicking adventure. Will Spine be able to reconcile her traumatic past when her old mentor and nemesis Captain Geno appears on the scene? Will her partner Visrian survive his battle with the fireballs? And will anybody survive the Rhinowhale? All is revealed in this first volume of SPINE: The Graphic Novel.
