Description
The new prequel in the sci-fi universe HUXLEY, this spellbinding visual storybook is a unique vision of a post-apocalyptic future from leading game and film designer Ben Mauro.
HUXLEY's original run of six digital-first comics took the internet by storm and changed the landscape of graphic novels forever. But it was just the beginning. Ben Mauro's epic decade-long franchise quickly expanded into prequels that build out the universe's deep lore and rich history further, its next step is taken here in: HUXLEY: The Oracle.
Delve deeper into the people, politics and horrors of FURY-7, a scorching desert planet that humanity abandoned to an empire of sacred machines known as Oracles after a devastating nuclear holocaust. These powerful machine emperors control the planet's resources and have genetically engineered human clones to serve their needs. The most advanced of these soldiers are the Ronins; elite enforcers who maintain order for the Oracles in Machine City. Among them, Max - one of the heroes from the original graphic novels earlier in his career- discovers a conspiracy that threatens to upend the empire and his own understanding of the world.
This brand new entry in the HUXLEY series features a captivating storyline with richly woven characters - some fan-favourites and others that are new to the saga - and another fascinating chapter in the franchise's sprawling lore. Ben Mauro brings the burgeoning universe to life with hundreds of pages of characteristically intricate artwork.
Get ready to embark on an epic new expedition in the HUXLEY universe, where every page promises adventure, intrigue and breathtaking artistry.
