“True Detective in space”: discover the slowburn sci-fi horror of BRINK

16th May 2024

“True Detective in space, if True Detective was written by Philip K. Dick and fascinated by class struggle and labor issues while something ominously big — as in, disappearing planets, big — happens in the far reaches of space… feels like the promises of both Ridley Scott’s Alien and Prometheus fulfilled in ways he couldn’t have imagined” – The Hollywood Reporter

“It’s dizzying, it’s daring, and it’s unlike anything else” – Polygon

“10/10 … Original, challenging and terrifying” – Comics: The Gathering

One of 2000 AD‘s most original and critically-acclaimed series, take a step into the brink of existence and madness with Dan Abnett and INJ Culbard‘s slowburn sci-fi horror series – available now in five stunning collections.

Earth has been abandoned, environmental collapse and industrial overload forcing mankind to evacuate the planet. Millions are now housed in floating habitats, the human race crammed into artificial worlds, living off synth food and nudge drugs to numb the anxiety of this crowded world on the edge of extinction. These pressure-cooker environments are hotbeds for crime and madness, policed by private security firms. When a routine drug bust goes wrong, no-nonsense Investigator Bridget Kurtis finds herself in a life or death struggle with a new sect of cultists. But evidence begins to point to something far more sinister going on behind the scenes…

Acclaimed by critics and fans alike, Abnett and Culbard have produced a series as full of tension, anxiety and mystery as the orbiting habitats mankind now calls home. A classic in the making, it’s not too late to jump onboard with one of comics’ greatest slowburn series…
