Out in comic shops today, Oni Press Editor-in-Chief Sierra Hahn says “KNEE DEEP harkens back to the YA dystopian era with its subterranean adventure full of delightful oddballs trying to survive in a shattered world,” said Oni Press Editor-in-Chief Sierra Hahn. “Like the best dystopian stories, the world building is vast and exciting, but the story itself is deeply personal and moving.”


So what’s Knee Deep about?


Two hundred years in the future, refugees from an environmental cataclysm have fled underground. Scavengers, misfits, bandits, renegades and mutants are among the citizens of this subterranean realm. They are sewerfolk, their home the bowels of a utopian city that was never completed. Life is hard enough, but an overzealous mining company PERCH wants to get their claws on this new underground frontier — and they don’t mind bulldozing any sewerfolk that get in their way. Caught in the middle is a young girl, Cricket, in a desperate search to find her family who fled underground. Join Cricket as she explores this savage new world, to find her parents and unlock the secrets of a past long forgotten.
