Statement
I have always had a love for stories. I have often found myself collecting comics like The Walking Dead or Trigun and becoming enthralled with the lives of fictional characters. As such, it only made sense to create my own with this capstone serving as a prologue.
Remora is about a young woman named Mire who is responsible for the care of her grandparents on a harsh, unforgiving planet. To fulfill their last wishes, she forfeits the life she knows to shepherd them through a long, arduous journey. On a trip motivated by love and good intentions, selfishness and grief take hold to form an ominous cloud over what lies ahead.
