DISMANTLERS (2018)

"In a galaxy where terraforming is the most common form of real estate development, a highly skilled team of 'dismantlers' travels to failed sites and salvages what's left of them. But that's not the hardest part of their job. Because relationships with each other can be even more complicated than transforming entire planets. This is not a story of a prestigious Federation or of a powerful Empire, but of the menial laborers who make it all possible, the unglamorous characters who work behind the scenes of galactic expansion. This is a story of their pillow talk, their break room banter, and their totally unforeseen fist fights with the pirates who jack their job sites out from under them. From artist Ashley A Woods (NIOBE: She Is Life) and next breakout writer Aria Baci comes an all new fleet of characters to fall in love with."

"Crew chief Flor is attacked by pirates while twin navigators Aden and Tammy are busy arguing like only family can. Even worse, the most menacing pirate of all is stalking Kenji! So, basically, this first day is not going at all like Flor had hoped."

"Crew chief Flor has evaded the pirates who attacked her, but that's only the beginning of her return journey to her ship. Unbeknownst to her, one member of her crew has been killed and another has defected to the pirate crew!"

"High drama reaches its zenith as Flor's first day on the job comes to its end. Aya has a flashback to a violent assault by the same pirate who just attacked Kenji, leading her to seek help from Megumi, who has taken command in Flor's absence. Chota searches for Flor while Aden makes a move that stuns everyone, and that's not the only shock in this arc's finale!"
