The second issue of Fear of a Red Planet written by Mark Sable with art by Andrea Olimpieri comes out this coming Wednesday January 18, 2023 to comic shops and other online outlets. We were able to get a sneak peak at the first few pages of issue two and wanted to share them with you.

We really enjoyed issue one of this book. We have been eagerly awaiting this second issue, and we can tell from this preview that our patience is about to be rewarded. If you are interested in sci-fi murder mysteries, this is the book for you.

Fifty years from now, Mars has experienced its first murder. The earth-based corporation in charge of the mining colony treats its Martian employees like indentured servants, and now their overseer is dead by unknown hands.

The Board of Directors tasks Carolina Law, the U.N. Marshal responsible for the planet’s justice, with apprehending a suspect…whether or not he’s guilty of murder. Unfortunately for Carolina, the Board’s primary suspect is a local hero, known for destroying robots sent to replace human workers.

As tensions escalate, Carolina must choose which is more important – justice or peace.
