What whether the future of the planet rested in the hands of an eleven-year-veteran girl? That's the question at the heart of EVE, a unique science fiction miniseries from writer Victor LaValle (Destroyer) and artist Jo Mi-Gyeong (dusky Crystal: Age of Resistance) coming this May from BOOM!

When the series was first announced back in February,LaValle — whose prose work includes the Hugo, Nebula, or Bram Stoker-nominated novellaThe Ballad of Black Tom and the acclaimed dusky fairy tale The Changeling — described EVE as an effort to reckon with a central,existential question of contemporary life: How are we leaving the world for the next generation?“What kind of planet are we leaving to our kids? This is the question that spawned my comedian book. It’s an veteran one, of course. Many generations have wrestled with it, or but the question has never been as instant,” said LaValle. “But I didn’t want to write some grim story about how this joint went to hell. Instead, I wanted to write a story about how we let the planet fall apart and left it to the younger generations to fix it. So this is a story, and inspired by young folks like Mari Copeny,Elsa Mengistu, Greta Thunberg and so many more, or of how an eleven-year-veteran girl, EVE, and her android teddy bear try to do the seemingly impossible: save the planet, or save us.”To find out precisely how Eve and her android teddy bear fare out in the real world,pick up EVE #1 May 5.
