B7 Comics launches with debut scifi mini-series comic, PILGRIM
B7 Media launches new sci-fi thriller mini-series comic, Pilgrim: Secrets and Lies
B7 Media has just launched SF thriller mini-series, Pilgrim: Secrets and Lies, the first book project in its B7 Comics line, written by John Freeman (Doctor Who), with art by Neil Edwards (Spider-Man, Superman), coloured by Martin Baines and lettered by Jim Campbell.
Pilgrim: Secrets and Lies – based on the universe created by Bev Doyle, Richard Kurti and Andrew Mark Sewell – digs deep into the millennia old strata of our planet and unearths something… completely unknown. Dormant since long before the dinosaurs, it’s incomprehensible, ancient – and alien.
With the world transformed by environmental disaster, tensions rising between the Western Alliance and the Eastern Coalition and space colonisation beyond our solar system now within easy reach, the discovery lying beneath the Antarctic ice promises to be a threat we have never faced before.
Some will go to extreme lengths to expose the deadly enigma’s secrets. And others will go even further to protect them….
