In the far-flung future, when space travel is routine, somebody must respond to distress calls of endangered ships. As the flagship of the Inter Stellar Rescue Foundation and powered by the very soul of her captain, the Icarus’ mission is simple: Save Those That Have Fallen. When a pleasure cruiser falls to pirates and even the bravery of her captain can’t stop the mad Admiral Killian, it’s the Icarus to the rescue. But will Captain Lachlan’s crew be enough?

Drawn in a simple, almost cartoony style reminiscent of the late Mirage Publishing titles (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), Icarus is a title that takes an idea and dives right in, never really deviating from its clear concept.
