Gearbox and indie game developer System Era Software’s Astroneer is a popular game where you play with friends, reshape the world and survive on mutant planets.
Titan Comics has today announced a new and original graphic novel series based on the universe in the game.
The adventure follows affable Astroneer Seven as he travels across the Boreas System. What begins as an epic hunt for vital resources quickly devolves into a crisis of identity and belonging.

Have We Met, Out of Bounds, and Decaf Noir Each is a component of the larger Astroneer universe and captures the game’s wonder.
The series stories are written by Dave Dwonch (Jenny Zero), David Pepose (Savage Avengers), Jeremy Lawson (Teen Titans Go! comics), and M. Goodwin (Tomboy); with Xenia Pamfil (Rainbow Brite), Eryk Donovan (Constantine: The Hellblazer), Jeremy Lawson, and M. Goodwin on art.
