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. Also inside: Backmatter by Sherif Adel. “Exhilirating and important slab of sci-fi comix.” —Corey J.

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.
