The Massive was an ongoing, monthly comic book series created by Brian Wood and published by Dark Horse Comics. Dave Stewart's work as a colorist in the first nine issues of the series rendered him the Eisner Award for Best Coloring in 2013.[1]
Synopsis
In a post-war, post-crash, post-disaster, post-everything world, the environmental-action trawler Kapital scours the earth’s oceans for its mysteriously missing sistership, The Massive. Captain Callum Israel, a man who has dedicated his life to the ocean, now must ask himself—as our planet dies—what it means to be an environmentalist after the world’s ended. Callum and his crew will come up against pirates, rebels, murderers, and thieves as they struggle to remain noble toward their cause. Can you save a planet that's already doomed?[2]
Publication History
The Massive was originally launched in the pages of Dark Horse's comics anthology, Dark Horse Presents in the form of three eight-page short stories in issues 8-10.[3][4][5] These stories were later collected as a digital one-shot, published 22 April 2012.[6] The official launch of the monthly ongoing series came later, beginning in June 2012.
