Vern: Custodian of the Universe cover

A thought-provoking and hilarious romp through time and space from debut creator, Tyrell Waiters, that explores what it means to be human in a world that is becoming more confusing and frightening by the day.

On the edge of burnout, Vern decides to return to his family in the Sunshine State to start over. Starting a new dead-end job as a custodian at Quasar-a local science facility with a shady motive-he shrugs on his uniform, grabs a mop and bucket, and trudges off to clean up. Black holes? Space-time anomalies? Galactic ooze? Things aren't entirely what they seem at Quasar, and when Vern accidentally plugs in a mysterious machine and finds himself standing on the brink of the destruction of every planet in the Multiverse, he finds himself presented with the greatest question of all: what is the point?

This is more than a graphic novel; it's an experience. Imagination, science and adventure weave together into a visual journey that's so fun you won't want it to end. -- Femi Fadugba, author of 'The Upper World'
A quirky romp, and fans of Luke Pearson will dig all the wonderfully weird planets. -- Publishers Weekly
I'm obsessed with the style and colour palette used (.) This was such a fun story. -- @readbyneve on Instagram
