US publisher Dark Horse has announced a new SF graphic novel, Navigator, from Academy Award-winner and director John Bruno, the visual effects mastermind behind Avatar, Terminator 2, and The Abyss.
Based on an original story by Bruno, Steve Burg and Ron Thornton, with screenplay by John Bruno and William Wisher (Terminator 2, Producer Die Hard 4), illustrating this epic space adventure is Jordi Armengol who, with his atmospheric work, helps bring the cosmos to life.
An alien navigator, captured in battle on Jupiter’s fourth moon, Europa, seeks sanctuary. In return, the alien will provide his advanced technology to help defend humankind from the alien force that enslaved him and has come to destroy us. In this backdrop is a story of love and reconciliation between a young Marine officer – placed in command of Earth’s forces – his estranged wife, and Amy, the daughter he’s never met.
