Dawnrunner is a new original sci-fi comic series from Detective Comics writer Ram V and artist Evan Cagle that follows Anita Marr, a mech pilot in a post-apocalyptic future who must pilot a powerful new prototype to defeat an extra-dimensional threat.

It’s a big action-drama with big, beautiful artwork and even bigger questions at its core. For example: What do all human beings have in common, even centuries apart? Or another, as Cagle puts it: ‘What if the military-industrial complex acted more like Bandai?
