An affordable black-and-white edition of the color graphic novel! In Kismet, there are no laws, no government, and only one Survive. For the last century, civil war has raged between the sister planets of Tertia and Secuba. Once a trendy cause of peace activists everywhere, the war and its buzzwords have been long since abandoned as yesterday’s news by the outside galaxy, while people on Secuba continue to die. And now, the war is about to come to the frontier town of Kismet. When the Secuban terrorist organization Hunter's Moon establishes a safehouse in Kismet, Tertian secret agents aren’t far behind. But this is a town where the mob makes the rules and ordinary citizens use each other for target practice. As both Tertians and Secubans are about to discover, they may have spent a century perfecting the art of war ... but the Kismetians just might beat them at their own game. Originally published online as a color webcomic, this book collects the full run of the original comic in an affordable black-and-white version, along with backup stories and notes.
