New Rat City

By Honor Vincent

New Rat City is a sci-fi graphic novel about what might happen to New York City if the rats and roaches win. Written by Honor Vincent, illustrated by George Quadros, colored by DC Alonso, and lettered by Lucas Gattoni, New Rat City is published by Scout Comics.

New York City, 2083: After decades of floods, infrastructure disasters, and abandonment, what was once the greatest city on Earth has shrunk to a shadow of its former self.

Pest controllers keep the city livable for the few people who remain. They're limited by law to using non-lethal methods like sound cannons and pheromones until a massive rat horde spurs the mayor to lift the no-kill order for two weeks so tourists don't stop visiting.

Raised to believe it's wrong to kill anything sentient, Felicia Shepherd is a pest controller who only uses non-lethal means to manage the swarms of rats and roaches plaguing her city - and that worked well enough until they started talking to her. As if that weren't enough, she's also wrestling with a growing suspicion that her mother, who disappeared after a horrible accident with a neural implant, isn't actually dead.
