UK – Brink Signing

Writer Dan Abnett and INJ Culbard will be signing their new Graphic Novel collection Brink at Forbidden Planet’s London Megastore on Saturday 9th September at 1:00pm.

Late 21st century and Earth has been reduced to an uninhabited wasteland. What was left of humanity was evacuated into overpopulated space stations, or ‘Habitats’.

A hotbed for crime and strange new religious sects, the Habitat Security Division has no shortage of work.

No-nonsense Investigator Bridget Kurtis soon finds herself embroiled in a life or death struggle with a sinister cult and what she uncovers has disturbing implications for the future of the human race…

Humanity is on the brink in this atmospheric space-noir from hit comics duo Dan Abnett and INJ Culbard.
