Gone cover

Gone is our popular sci-fi mystery comic, about the AssistA robot, who wakes on board a vessel that should be home to thousands of crew, but is, in fact, desolate.

Confused and alone, the AssistA sets off to find out where everyone has gone to. Along the way he starts receiving interference in the forms of memories from one of the crew members, from before everyone disappeared.

But can AssistA trust these memories, and is it, in fact, as alone as it thinks it is?

Gone has a subtlety and nuance to it that is hardly ever seen in the comic book world. It really is a strong entry into the science fiction genre, and a welcome respite from the high concept superhero or zombie comics that I am usually reading.

-- Dustin Molina * A Place to Hang Your Cape *

It’s slow & subtle with some real moments of wonder and scale which feels like a mix between Silent Running & Wall-E and the controlled use of dialogue quickly evokes the emptiness of space and the silence of being alone.

-- Gary Watson * Comics Anonymo
