What it’s about: 10 years in the making, this is your chance to back the first science-faction comic ever made.

To their horror, they discover that the process may have accidentally turned the entire planet into a bomb. Do they try to survive in this brutal and cruel world, or do they do the unthinkable and euthanize the species?
