The Ultra-Wealthy Will Get Their Just Desserts in Space in KNOW YOUR STATION Limited Series Comic

Know Your Station is an upcoming 5-issue limited comic series recently announced by BOOM! Studios. The story is written by Sarah Gailey (Eat the Rich) and illustrated by Liana Kangas (TRVE KVLT) as another commentary on the ultra-wealthy. This time though, things happen in space.

Death is the great leveler, even for the 1%… the wealthiest people in the solar system abandoned the Earth for a private sanctuary in space, leaving the rest of us to die amidst cataclysmic climate change. But the ultra-wealthy won’t be safe for long…

A murderer is on the loose, specifically targeting the super-rich! Soon, Elise, an employee of the Avulsion Corporation, is wrapped up in a deadly investigation, with each issue of this outrageously macabre series featuring a new, diabolically different kill!

This sounds like a really cool series. Talking about Know Your Station, Gailey said:

I could not be more excited to explore new frontiers of wealth and violence in KNOW YOUR STATION, a series in which space is no longer the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism. Working with Liana Kangas to develop this series has been a source of incredible creative joy, and there couldn't be a better home for this story than BOOM! I am just thrilled to get to work with Liana to shine a light on the gory inner workings of the 1%.

Kangas added:

Getting to work with a phenomenal editorial team and favorite prose writer of mine, Sarah Gailey, is quite the foundation for my excitement to construct and create with them on this epically gruesome series. There’s something to be said about watching someone mysteriously murdering billionaires AND stick it to the man—but IN SPACE? Sign me up.

You’ll be able to read Know Your Station #1 this December. The main cover art is by Kangas and variants from Jenny Frison, Becca Carey, Jenn Woodall, and more will be available as well.
