Orbital - Narben

In this German science-fiction series from Splitter Verlag, the story follows a lone astronaut stranded on a hostile alien world, grappling with the psychological scars of a failed mission. The single issue, Narben, focuses on survival and trauma against a stark, beautifully rendered extraterrestrial backdrop. Written and illustrated by the creative team behind the Orbital universe, this one-shot expands that cosmos with a quiet, character-driven tale. It matters as a compact, atmospheric entry in the Orbital saga, offering a standalone glimpse into the series' signature blend of hard sci-fi and emotional depth.
