The Hard Switch cover

Ada, Haika, and Mallic are on a mission... one last mission, before everything, everywhere shuts down. They're raiding old, abandoned spaceships and wrecks for the (sometimes expensive) parts-and they make just enough money to get by. But living their nomadic, exploring life isn't sustainable when they can't afford fuel anymore. The time is coming when the mineral that makes inter-system jumps possible runs out. When it does, the scattered inhabitants of the vast galaxy will be stuck where they are. Everything will be different... unless the discovery in the latest wreck Ada, Haika, and Mallic are scavenging can unlock a whole new kind of interstellar transit.

"The Hard Switch is an astounding achievement. Owen Pomery was born to make sci-fi. The drawings and story captured me in a way few comics ever have." - Tillie Walden, Author of On a Sunbeam 

"This is truly working class sci-fi, with a humanist (if not entirely human) angle. This is how we live now, always hoping that tomorrow it will get better." - The Comic Crush

“Seductive and restrained in the Continental manner, The Hard Switch is a potent confection delivered in a beautiful, evocative and utterly compelling way no one could possibly resist.” - Now Read This
