Here's Our First Look at THE EXPANSE #1

The Expanse is a very popular science-fiction series on Amazon Prime Video. Well, the story is being expanded upon (see what I did there?) with some comics published by BOOM! Studios. The story for the comics picks up after the fourth season of the show and follows Chrisjen Avasarala as an interesting opportunity arises.

The series picks up with Chrisjen Avasarala at the end of the television show’s fourth season. The longtime Secretary-General of the United Nations finds herself dealing with the outcome of the tumultuous elections for her position and far from Earth but not its politics. When Bobbie Draper - a former Martian marine - brings Avasarala intel on an intergalactic black market weapons ring, Avasarala sees a chance to reclaim her political position through a clandestine operation. But as Draper digs deeper into this secret cabal, she soon realizes the threat they pose is far larger - and closer to home - than either of them ever imagined.

The Expanse #1 is written by Corinna Bechko (Green Lantern: Earth One) with art by Alejandro Aragon (Resonant), colors by Francesco Segala (Firefly), and letters by Ed Dukeshire. The main cover is from W. Scott Forbes (Firefly) and a variant cover will be available featuring art by Tigh Walker (Venom: Annual) and Lorenzo de Felici (Oblivion Song). You’ll be able to read the comic on December 16 and check out the first look below!
