Dark Horse Announces New Graphic Novel By David Duchovny

Dark Horse is excited to announce a new graphic novel Kepler. Co-written by David Duchovny and Phillip Sevy with illustrations, letters, and colors also by Sevy. Here’s the synopsis:

When the Benadem, benevolent space gods, return to KEPLER, a planet where homosapiens went extinct and other hominid species thrived, their arrival threatens to plunge the world into chaos. West, a 16-year-old Neanderthal girl, is thrust into the conflict and is the only hope to prevent extinction. Her efforts, unique because of her mixed hominid heritage, not only change her life, but also reveal the merciless ambition and identity of the gods themselves. 

Much like Planet of the Apes, Kepler is an allegorical thriller of environmental disaster, colonialism, religion, history, and adolescence told through the eyes of a lonely outsider. You can pick up a copy for $19.99 on November 16 in comic shops and in bookstores on November 29. Preorders are available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local comic shop and bookstore now.
