Final issue! The triumvirate’s greatest fears become reality as alien life forms arrive on Earth, and Uma, Catrin, and Dewydd must save mankind’s present to reimagine its future.
Part one of the epic finale! They’ve gone to the edge of the galaxy and back, but the gang can’t run from their past forever. They must return to Earth and nothing will ever be the same.
The start of an all-new arc picks up one year after the galaxy-changing events of last issue. As they embark on their next wave of adventures, Uma, Catrin, and Dewydd are not the same people who fled Earth a year ago.
Someone hijacks the ship and takes the team to an unknown section of space, where they come face-to-face with the powerful aliens that humanity encountered when they first left Earth…and the reason the SafeSky was built.
When that eighth-dimensional being Uma freed in issue #2 conquers a planet to throw a party in her honor, Uma is left with no choice but to do the one thing that goes against everything she believes in: Call the cops.
After spending so much time exploring the galaxy, the gang decides to explore the ship they’ve been riding in, only to discover that it has been hiding so many secrets.
Now an ongoing series! After the chaotic series of events in volume 1, the team goes to an unexplored planet to relax. It’s a gas giant with large floating continents that also happen to be alive but unbeknownst to the team, the planet also has a chemical compound in the air that begins to affect them. How so? Well, love is in the air.
The crew of the Joyride is fractured. A year has passed since they stared down the Void at the far reaches of space. With friends lost, the crew went their separate ways and haven’t spoken since. They created new lives and identities in hopes of moving on but there’s one thing that could bring them back together: a return to Earth to take on the ruling fascist regime once and for all.
In this stunning conclusion to the critically acclaimed series, writers Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly (Batman and Robin Eternal, Grayson) and artist Marcus To (Nightwing, New Avengers), bring the Joyride back to where it all began to create a new future for the people of Earth.
Uma and Catrin attempt to fix the damaged spaceship, but end up falling from orbit and find themselves on a psychic planet that takes them into each other’s memories.
The crew of the Joyride survived their first foray to the stars and met the challenges the galaxy threw at them head-on, so it’s only fair they enjoy a bit of relaxation and carefree living. But as Uma, Dewydd, and Catrin have come to learn, in space, nothing is as it seems. In fact, it’s the secrets hidden in their own ship and among their fellow travelers that will send the crew down a path that brings them face-to-face with the very alien threat that the leaders on Earth ran from so long ago.
