B7 Comics SF-noir series Pilgrim: Secrets and Lies, available in selected WHSmiths, comic shops and online is moving forwards, with art on #3 of the four-issue mini by Neil Edwards (Fantastic Four, Amazing Spider-Man) near completion.
The independent publisher teased the cover by Alex Ronald recently (and his cover for #4 is also complete): another striking image from the ace 2000AD cover artist that sees international agent-for-hire Lily Winters pitted against a deadly foe on the Moon…
Now they’ve offered a tantalising peek of Neil’s work so far on #3, which opens with a flashback to Earth, millions of years ago, and continues in Earth’s future, when two superpowers are vying for control of our planet – and an alien technology that has its own agenda…
PREVIOUSLY… The 22nd Century. While the environmental troubles of the 21st are behind them, the world faces new threats, as The Western Alliance and Eastern Coalition power blocs vie for dominance. But their squabbles for land, resources and, in recent years, the solar system, pale into insignificance in comparison with a millennia-old mystery below the ice of Antarctica, now being explored… and full of danger, not just for the unwilling recruits sent to investigate, but the future of all humanity!
NOW: After travelling to Antarctica to discover what secrets the Western Alliance are hiding – international agent-for-hire Lily Winters heads to the moon with an Eastern Coalition strike force to uncover some deadly secrets – and what they find there definitely isn’t friendly…
But attackers of the undead kind are the least of Lily’s worries, with a Western Alliance strike force on the team’s tail – and Security Director Tate is already planning her next move against them!
