THE SOLAR GRID Nº 2
BY GANZEER
The world’s oldest and richest man of all time is a visionary, a wanton innovator, and a dangerous egomaniac.
Sharif Algebri is a genius. That is uncontested. When a great flood subsumes much of the modern world, big tech must conceive of a way to sustain life on Earth, and Sharif Algebri believes he has the answer. The second issue of The Solar Grid takes us into the future nexus of money and power that trambles everything in its path.

THE SOLAR GRID Nº 3
BY GANZEER
︎︎ USD 10.00
Across centuries of oppression and injustice, the only constant is resistance.
Profits are prioritized when big tech intervenes to salvage the modern world from a global flood. Naturally, resistance movements crop up across the world in opposition, but sometimes it takes years for revolutions to bear fruit. In the third issue of The Solar Grid, two attempts to halt Earth’s demise highlighted. They are seperated by centuries, but united in purpose.

THE SOLAR GRID Nº 4
BY GANZEER
In the wasteland of Earth’s future lurks a strange man with keys to the past.
Centuries have gone by, but hazy memories trickle through those years and gnaw at the edges of forgetfulness. Artefacts travel through lost time and resurrect at opportune moments, and unlikely heroes are bound through spirit many decades apart. The fourth issue of this 10-part brings forth answers to some of the most pressing mysteries that guide the series—what is the connection between those resisting The Solar Grid’s construction and the clueless inhabitants of Earth’s wastelands five hundred years into the future? The clue is in the memories.

He was there before it all began.
Sharif Algebri is not just the founder of Skyquench. He isn’t just the richest and oldest man of all time. Nor is he just a daring, madcap innovator. Sharif Algebri’s role in the new world of the future is key to understanding how life on Earth evolved to what it is in the twisted world of The Solar Grid. Whether villain or hero—if there is such a thing—Algebri’s role may just be the most important of all.
