Wired #22

In "Absolute Zero," astronaut Mann and his loyal robot companion K.I.P.P. endure the crushing silence of an icebound planet, gathering data in a setting that feels as cold as the void itself. As isolation takes its toll, Mann makes a fateful decision that tests the limits of human endurance—and what it means to be alone in the universe. Written by Christopher Nolan and illustrated with stark precision by Sean Gordon Murphy, with colors by Matt Hollingsworth and letters by Tana Ford, this issue captures a quiet, haunting tension beneath the surface of space.
