Sumerian Comics teams up with Anberlin for a thrilling sci-fi graphic novel

Sumerian Comics is thrilled to announce their latest release: a gripping sci-fi graphic novel created in official collaboration with iconic alternative rock band Anberlin. This unique project is co-written by Anberlin’s bassist Deon Rexroat, delivering an exhilarating tale of survival, deception, and the search for truth that will captivate both longtime fans of the band and comic book enthusiasts alike.

The Story: When two luxurious starliners embark on a journey to an opulent resort in the depths of space, the passengers’ dreams of paradise are suddenly shattered. A catastrophic event obliterates Earth and destroys one of the ships, leaving the Godspeed and its passengers as humanity’s only survivors.

Years later, the survivors have turned their floating haven into the beginnings of a new Earth colony, striving to rebuild society under the watchful eye of an elite council. But not everyone aboard the Vital Six is content with the status quo. When a mysterious transmission raises unsettling questions about the fate of Earth, a small group of unlikely allies sets out on a dangerous journey for answers. What they discover could unravel the fragile society aboard the Godspeed and alter humanity’s future forever.

About Anberlin:
For more than two decades, Anberlin has been a powerhouse in the alt-rock scene, captivating a devoted fanbase with their raw, cathartic sound. Their long-awaited album “Vega”—the first in a decade—showcases explosive new energy, fueled by fresh creativity and the addition of Memphis May Fire’s Matty Mullins as their live vocalist. Emerging from a free-flowing, DIY approach in McAlhaney’s garage and Tampa’s Feral Sound Studios, “Vega” spans everything from pop anthem “Walk Alone” to the heavy, shape-shifting epic “Seven.” Not ready to rest, the band recently dropped their new single “High Stakes”, which is streaming everywhere. With over 1.5 million U.S. album sales, hits like “Feel Good Drag,” and a history of uniting fans through their music, Anberlin continues on and embarks on the 20th anniversary tour for “Never Take Friendship Personal” this February.
