Palomar City is an overpopulated, tightly-packed, American mega-city. The stories in this near-future sci-fi world rocket from the dangerous, high-octane lifestyle of the Gatecrashers, to the back-stabbing politics of city hall, from behind the doors of Palomar General, the busiest public emergency room in the world, to the illicit wetware markets of the streets.
In issue 11 we watch the months pass, while Natas learns that running a wetware rack isn't cheap and Hex finds builds a strong friendship with her new partner.
