FUSE (2014)

"'THE RUSSIA SHIFT,' Part One Working homicide 22,000 miles up on an orbiting energy platform, in a five-mile-long jury-rigged steel city stuffed with a half million people, with no help from your so-called colleagues back on Earth, is more than tough...it's murder! Cynical, foul-mouthed veteran ANTONY JOHNSTON (UMBRAL, Wasteland, Daredevil) gets partnered with fresh-faced idealist JUSTIN GREENWOOD (Wasteland, Resurrection) for a new crime series with attitude! Murder, mayhem, and mystery-22,000 miles straight up."

"'THE RUSSIA SHIFT' Part Two Two dead cablers. Two MCPD murder police. One of them is an FGU. One vic leads to Midway City Hall. The other leads into the cables of SOLAR 1. The LT is furious. I-SEEC won't help them. But the ME can. 'Someone want to run all that by me again? In English?'"

"'THE RUSSIA SHIFT,' Part Three Whoever thought two dead bums could be such a pain in the ass? Now even the Mayor's office is under scrutiny, but even an old Muscovite like Klem Ristovych knows that's a whole new bag of hurt to be poking. And why the hell is Ralph researching terrorist groups?"

"'THE RUSSIA SHIFT,' Part Four The bodies are starting to pile up. None of this case makes a lick of damn sense. Klem has a mysterious lunch date, and Ralph is starting to get ideas...ideas that will kill him faster than you can say, 'On your knees, cop.'"

"'THE RUSSIA SHIFT,' Part Five Two hobos murdered in cold blood. Homeless living in maintenance ducts. A high-flying mayor with a scandalous secret. Unreliable witnesses, lying suspects, and nothing but the cold vacuum of space outside. All in a day's work for MCPD Homicide... 22,000 miles straight up. Welcome to the Fuse."

"'THE RUSSIA SHIFT,' Conclusion THEIR FIRST CASE: SOLVED! Klem's got it all figured out. But will she live to tell anyone? Can Ralph get to her in time? Who's gonna get shot? And can someone, anyone, please explain why it's called the 'Russia shift'? Well, if you insist... "

"'GRIDLOCK,' Part One 22,000 MILES UP, THERE IS (STILL) NO BACKUP. They call it Gridlocking-maglev-bike races across the Fuse's vast solar arrays. Fast, dangerous, and very illegal. When a gridlocker turns up dead, Klem and Ralph begin their own race to catch a killer! PLUS: Bonus backup strip 'TABLOID' starts this issue!"

"'GRIDLOCK,' Part Two Turns out the gridlocker's death was no accident, and Klem for one is shocked, SHOCKED, I tell you, to discover this is a murder case. But it won't stop her going over The Wall, or even down into Smacktown, to find the killer!"

"'GRIDLOCK,' Part Three Feels like Klem and Dietrich can't even interview someone without another two suspects popping up. But what's this case really about? The billion-dollar future of gridlocking? Sibling rivalry? Everybody's favorite motive, drugs? Or could it even be...SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY? Boom! Mind blown."

"'GRIDLOCK,' Part Four What does terrorism look like on a space station? Klem and Ralph are about to find out-and so are you. You lucky readers. 'Sets a new standard for the genre' - Comics Alliance"

"'GRIDLOCK,' Part Five And so another body drops. Was it the same killer? Oh, please. Don't you know better by now? It's time to figure out what the hell connects gridlocking, drugs, terrorism, and cellphones once and for all! 'Deserves to be on the Hugo ballot' - The Angriest"

"'GRIDLOCK,' CONCLUSION CATHY KUANG'S MURDER - SOLVED! But what will the truth cost Klem and Ralph? It's a dangerous place out there on the solar arrays, as Ralph is about to find out...!"

"'PERIHELION,' Part Two The Fuse's annual day of chaos continues! Murder, riots, theft, politics, terrorism-and a break in the 'haircut killer' case for Klem and Ralph! 'Terrifically thought-through SF, in collision with a Scandinavian noir police drama.' - Alan Moore"

"'PERIHELION,' Part Three The Fuse's annual day of chaos continues! Terror strikes at the hospital, strangeness abounds at the hydroponics and a good old-fashioned murder turns up at the Sungazing rally!"

"'PERIHELION' Part Four The bodies stack up, as Klem and Ralph somehow deal with two murders, one mass shooting, and a whole lot of witnesses lying through their teeth! 'Enforced rest period'? Who has time to rest?"

"'PERIHELION,' Part Five Klem gets stealthy, Ralph gets decompressed, and some perps are gonna die. That's what happens when you let guns onto a space station..."

"END OF STORY ARC 'PERIHELION,' Conclusion Midnight approaches, and the Day of Chaos is almost over. But before the chimes ring out, there's the small matter of two murders still to solve ! "

"NEW STORY ARC 'CONSTANT ORBITAL REVOLUTIONS,' Part One Ralph's mystery solved-at last?! Retirement beckons for Midway's oldest, crankiest Homicide detective!
