Humanoids has announced Project Arka: Into the Dark Unknown, a chilling science fiction graphic novel set in a distant future where citizens of a dying Earth flee to a distant promised land in a massive colony ship, the Arka III, but soon find themselves trapped in a mysterious corner of uncharted space.

French science fiction novelist Romain Benassaya adapts his own bestselling novel, Pyramides, into an original graphic novel featuring the lushly illustrative watercolor art of acclaimed Catalan illustrator Joan Urgell. Available now for the first time in English on June 20, 2023. 

In the not-too-distant future, the Earth has been destroyed, its orbit withering and its citizens desperate to escape to the stars. The solution? Project Arka, a series of massive space vessels bound for the distant planet of Leonis.

When the passengers of Arka III awaken from their long intergalactic journey, they realize they’re not on Leonis. Not only that, their journey has taken much longer than the planned two hundred years, and has landed them in a starless, seemingly endless void. Eric Rives, the ship’s second-in-command, and his partner Jia Tang are sent on an exploratory mission to investigate the dark labyrinth that surrounds them…but what they find is beyond belief.

Project Arka: Into the Dark Unknown will be available in bookstores everywhere on June 20, 2023 and in comic shops on June 21, 2023.
