"The Haunted Galaxy," Part One.

But, like her parents, Mila doesn't like to play by the rules, and when a certain robot pal of her dad's shows up, nothing will ever be the same!
With all the scope and heart of the sci-fi classic Descender, Lemire and Nguyen reunite to take readers on an unforgettable fantasy quest!
