Beyond the end of the world, the angels have teeth…
What remains after the end of the world? For the last of humanity in a world of perpetual winter, the only way to survive is to adapt—but for Lynx Takuma, the past cannot be so easily left behind.
Lynx Takuma is standing still. As a bio-enhanced detective in New Borealis, one of the last habitable cities after climate disaster, Lynx knows what she’s meant to do: break up crime syndicates, track down rogue Qual technology, and keep the peace alongside her reckless-but-trusty partner Task and her crime-fighting, talking cat Skua. But ever since Simone…
Well, she’s not thinking about Simone. Or about anything beyond getting through the next day, and the next, and the next…
Until, while on the trail of a series of grisly murders, Lynx sees something impossible that turns her world upside-down—something that looks like an angel…
A thrilling and suspenseful new tech noir manga from Eisner-nominated writer Samuel Sattin, with art by breakout talent tokitokoro.
Praise for Lynx
“Addictive cyberpunk noir…Fans of sci-fi worldbuilding will relish Sattin’s ability to populate New Borealis with offbeat characters and concepts, including talking animals, deadly celestial beings, bizarre body-horror monsters, and a winsome mortician. Tokitokoro brings the setting to life with flair and draws appealing characters involved in sharp, dynamic action. The fast-paced first volume sets up a slew of yet-to-be-resolved mysteries and promises more high-tech, high-tension drama to come.” — PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
“Blade Runner Meets Evangelion….  an impressive, unique, and surprisingly compelling story ”— SCREENRANT
“A Sapphic neo-noir thriller about a damaged detective and her snarky cat battling angels…. [that] has us at the edge of our seats.” – GIZMODO’s Isaiah Campbell
“Blade Runner-esque…. Readers who enjoy Pluto and other dark detective mysteries will enjoy this too.” — BOOKLIST
“Who doesn’t want a talking, crime-fighting cat?… What’s not to love?” — IGN’s Jesse Schedeen
“Lynx, Vol. 1 is a hell of a start with great world building mixed with fantastic art…Amazing…It’s so, so friggin’ good.” — GRAPHIC POLICY‘s Brett Schenker
“A kinetic, character‑driven sci‑fi adventure built on teamwork, transformation, and high‑stakes emotion. Partnering with artist tokitokoro, Sattin crafts a world that feels both expansive and intimate, packed with the kind of visual dynamism and narrative heart that define modern manga‑inspired storytelling.” — GEEK VIBES NATION’s Martin Sexton
“I knew I was going to like Lynx the moment I encountered the cybernetically-enhanced, be-goggled, crime-fighting talking cat. Sometimes you just know…It’s 224 pages of post-apocalyptic detective fiction full of designer drugs, rogue tech, body horror, mysterious murders, strange angels, and Skua, the aforementioned talking cat… Part police procedural, part post-climate-collapse noir, part body-horror mystery, and part supernatural thriller. And they’ve only begun to explain those weird-ass angels.” — BOING BOING’s Gareth Branwyn
“Blends climate fiction, cyberpunk enhancements, and psychological trauma in a deeply atmospheric sci-fi noir manga….Artist tokitokoro delivers a stunning visual style that heavily channels classic Hollywood noir mixed with gritty cyberpunk aesthetics….A deeply human story about surviving the cold—both outside and within.” — GOOD MEN PROJECT
“Refreshing…. It’s dark, gritty, and steeped in crime-syndicate intrigue, with a deliberately measured pace that favors atmosphere and world-building…. Tokitokoro’s artwork is a perfect match for the story. ” — BIG RED NERD
