Retrograde Orbit

Set in the outer edges of a remote solar system, young Flint questions whether to stay with her family in the mining colony they've made their home, or whether to heed the lure of a new path on a mysterious, far-away planet...

Her family escaped nuclear fallout by escaping their home planet of Doma for a mining colony on Tisa, but Flint can't ignore the feeling that this isn't where she belongs. As she begins an apprenticeship at the refinery, she begins to feel a pull toward the mysterious irradiated planet that was once home to her race. Grateful for the life her parents have built for her, Flint is stuck between two impossible choices. By following in their footsteps and leaving Tisa to forge a new path, is she betraying her family, or is she honouring their legacy? 

Exploring notions of home and the desire to leave it, Retrograde Orbit is a story of relationships, of time, of the motion of the universe. The first long-form work from a widely-acclaimed, popular British creator, this otherworldly graphic novel is not to be missed!
