New York Public Library List – Best New Comics of 2022 for Adults!

Mind-bending sci-fi collides with Cold War thriller in this six-issue series by the best-selling and Eisner-winning creative team behind GIDEON FALLS! In 1957 the USSR made history by launching a dog named Laika into Earth's orbit. Two years later the USA responded with two monkeys, Able and Baker. These animals never returned. But unbeknownst to everyone, they did not die in orbit… they were taken. And now they are coming home.

Trade Review
“...Ambitious and innovative comics storytelling...” -ComicBook.com

“All in all, sci-fi fans, LEMIRE fans, SORRENTINO fans, Image fans, this is a must buy.” -Black Nerd Problems

“A classic Cold War thriller in the making. But it's also far more ambitious than that, with a sci-fi storyline at its heart and visuals evoking 2001: A Space Odyssey... Part John le Carré and another part Arthur C. Clarke.” -Comicon.com

“For a creative team this brilliant, it really means something to say that they are at the top of their game. But sure enough...some of their best work!” -Monkeys Fighting Robots

“Has plenty to offer to fans of American history, science fiction, and good storytelling.” -Comic Book Resources
