™ and © DC Comics, Inc.

This four-issue limited series from writer Richard Kadrey and the Pander Bros. (Grendel) tells the tale Marne, a teenager in neo-LA who receives a fax from her dead boyfriend on the anniversary of his murder, and the mind-expanding drug Accelerate.

Essentially a murder mystery, Accelerate follows young Marne through the dark streets of a dystopian future, where she and her friends dig deeper into the mystery of her boyfriend’s death. But this is a world in which everything has a price, and information costs big-time bucks, forcing Marne to organize a heist of unfathomable proportions to get the knowledge she needs from the High Priests of the Digital Age.

If quirky sci-fi is your bag, Accelerate is right up your alley!
