It’s you and me against the worlds.
Coming this fall from Mad Cave Studios Mariko Between Worlds, from author Matthew Erman (Power Rangers, WitchBlood) and Ringo Award-winning and Eisner-nominated artist Liana Kangas (She Said Destroy), are teaming up with colorist Rebecca Nalty and letterer Micah Myers, to create a world of lust and stardust.
Mariko and Rem have been together for years, but the two are worlds apart. Though Mariko dreams of staying together forever, the universe seems to have other plans. With Rem leaving for a new job on The Moon of Plenty, Mariko makes a last-ditch effort to save their relationship–no matter the cost… But are these two really as perfect for each other as they think?
