Voyagis is a 2022 sci-fi miniseries by
Image Comics, drawn and written by Sumeyye Kesgin as her writing debut. Set on Modia, a dying planet ruled by a mysterious tyrant, the alien Sen discovers a Voyager probe which may hold the key to her people’s salvation.
This series contains examples of:
- After the End:
- Modia was once a prosperous and advanced planet, but after a black hole appeared in its solar system, the planet was razed by debris before Primoris turned its technology against its inhabitants.
- Earth has it even worse, being reduced to lifeless rock as a result of the black hole. It does, however, recover after hundreds of thousands of years, just in time for Madia’s survivors to land.
- Big Bad: Primoris, a mysterious tyrant who rules Modia and searches for Voyager’s golden disc.
- Bookend: The first issue starts with Sen’s cynical narration about how Modia is living on borrowed time, with the sun continuing to rise like it would make a difference. The last issue ends with Sen hopefully narrating about how World Is Just Awesome, as she, Zakk and Comba are about to venture on a trip to Mars.
- Dream Land: A dimension of subconsciousness where Sen and Joy meet.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: Sen successfully leads most of the surviving Zai to Earth, which despite devastation, survived and recovered. Modian travelers menage to successfully establish civilisation on Earth while Sen, Zakk and Comba are ready to travel to Mars in hope of finding frozen human embryos.
- I Choose to Stay: Most of Modia’s old folk refuse the trip to Earth, due to either skepticism or simply wanting to die with their own planet.
- Interspecies Adoption: Sen’s people, the Nau, have been exterminated by Primoris, and she was raised by the Zai, Modia’s other sentient species.
- Interspecies Romance: By the end, Sen, a blue skined telepathic alien, has fallen in love with the Joy, a memory particle of a human linked to her. Some of their interactions imply it is mutual.
- Last of Her Kind: Sen is the last Nau seen on Modia in decades.
- No Focus on Humans: The series takes place on an alien world, with seemingly the only human character being Joy, an Earth girl who telepathically links to Sen
