PRISM STALKER: THE WEEPING STAR by Sloane Leong
(Dark Horse, July 2023)

The planet Eriatarka grows more inhospitable as it’s colonization at the hand of the Chorus continues.

Vep and her fellow students are reaching the end of their basic combat training in the pneumatic arts and begin to exercise their abilities outside the colony-city of Elefstris. Their objective: subdue the unruly planet bent on scouring the Chorus’ presence from its surface. But what exactly are they subjugating? And what will the cost of conquering be?

Select praise for THE WEEPING STAR:

“Prism Stalker rewires your brain with every page turn, leaving you both entranced by its invention and emboldened by its indignation. This is big-idea sci-fi of the highest order, and a rare depiction of the alient that feels truly and thoroughly ALIEN.”
- Ezra Clayton Daniels, author of Upgrade Soul and BTTM FDRS
“The most visually innovative graphic novel in years, Prism Stalker pairs stunning art with a richly layered sci-fi thriller… Book of the year, hands down.”
- Alex de Campi, creator of Dracular, Motherf**ker! and Twisted Romance
“Electrifying and hallucinatory… like a psychic bomb exploding in your conscience. It’s a nuanced meditation on settler colonialism in space. But it’s also a mind-blowing, eyeball-melting trip through biological cities and sentient planets, full of flesh-ripping battles and satisfyingly incomprehensible alien life. The gorgeous, wild characters in this book will blast their way into your heart and refuse to leave.”
- Annalee Newitz, author of The Terraformers and Autonomous
