Polis (The Protopias Collection)

Welcome to Protopias, the new science-fiction anthology series from AWA and Futurific Studios that explores the many possible futures that can come to pass as we try to make the right choices in imperfect realities. In this double-sized debut issue, Eisner and Ringo Award-winning writer Mark Russell (Not All Robots, Batman: Dark Age) and illustrator Laci (Trojan, Death Ratio’d) spin the tale of Miragua, a floating city populated by refugees that has become a beacon of hope in a world beset by climate disaster and civil war. Follow Florida teen Natalie as she emigrates from the only home she’s ever known in search of a better life aboard Miragua. Features a foreword by renowned futurist Ari Wallach (PBS’s A Brief History of the Future) and supplemental material laying out the science behind the story, showing how this world could come to be.
