The Incal: Dying Star - A Sci-Fi Romance Graphic Novel

A mutant commander leads a desperate mission of revenge. A millennium away, a Sister of Entropy faces certain death. Will love triumph... or will all fall to the rot and the worm?

Part of the expanding universe of The Incal, soon to be a major motion picture from Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok, Our Flag Means Death)!

A Tale Across Two Timelines

Commander Kaimann's world has collapsed. Luz, the love of his life, is dead. His home of Tortuga lies in ruins. His crew exists only as ghostly apparitions, and his crocodilian mutation consumes more of his body each day. Fighting for survival on multiple fronts, Kaimann teeters on the edge of despair.

A chance encounter with a strange violin connects him to Aurora, a woman living in a future where she faces almost certain destruction. This connection reignites Kaimann's will to survive. He hatches a bold plan to find a cure for his mutation and secure a future with his newfound love across time itself.

But the past never stays buried. Kaimann's history closes in on him while Aurora's future faces imminent doom from an approaching hostile fleet. Two timelines race towards tragedy, and only an act of pure love can save them both.
