Traveling to Mars tells the story of former pet store manager Roy Livingston, the first human to ever set foot on Mars. Roy was chosen for this unlikely mission for one simple reason: he is terminally ill and therefore has no expectation of returning. Roy is joined on his mission to Mars by Leopold and Albert, two Mars rovers equipped with artificial intelligence, who look upon the dying pet store manager as a sort of god.
Roy says his final farewells to his family and braces for life aboard a spacecraft. But as he heads out on a one-way mission to Mars, he's not alone. Befriended by his two robotic companions, do they know something about his fate that he does not?
Roy enlists his robotic companions in celebrating a lonely Thanksgiving on their one-way journey to Mars, prompting memories of the people in his life whom he knows he'll never see again.
"Roy discovers that he is not alone in space, forcing him and the rovers to improvise a strategy for survival.
Eisner award-winning writer Mark Russell and artist Roberto Meli bring you a compelling new sci-fi series…a riveting story of planetary exploration and of finding meaning in your final days. "
Roy says his final good-byes to the people of Earth as he prepares to land on Mars. He thinks back to his wedding day and wonders if he will hear from the love of his life before breaking off all contact with the Earth.
