The New York Times-bestselling author of The Only Good Indians and
My Heart Is a Chainsaw makes his comics debut with this time-hopping
horror thriller about far-future Indigenous outcasts on a mission to
kill Christopher Columbus.
The year is 2112, and it's the apocalypse exactly as expected: rivers
receding, oceans rising, civilization crumbling. Humanity has given up
hope, except for a group of Indigenous outcasts who have discovered a
time travel portal in a cave in the desert and figured out where
everything took a turn for the worst: America.
Convinced that the only way to save the world is to rewrite its past,
they send one of their own--a reluctant linguist named Tad--on a bloody,
one-way mission to 1492 to kill Christopher Columbus before he reaches
the so-called New World. But there are steep costs to disrupting the
timeline, and taking down an icon isn't an easy task for an academic
with no tactical training and only a wavering moral compass to guide
him. As the horror of the task ahead unfolds and Tad's commitment is
tested, his actions could trigger a devastating new fate for his friends
and the future.
Join Stephen Graham Jones and artist Davide Gianfelice for Earthdivers,
Vol. 1, the beginning of an unforgettable ongoing sci-fi slasher
spanning centuries of America's Colonial past to explore the staggering
forces of history and the individual choices we make to survive it.
