About The Book
Ballistic marks Darick Robertson's return to the hard sci-fi worldbuilding of his classic Transmetropolitan, but mixed with The Boys' ultra-violence and the lunacy of Happy. Mortimer's mix of speculative science, pulpy noire, and drug-addled adventure cooks up a strange brew of Lethal Weapon by way of Cronenberg meets Dr. Who if written by Odd Future.
"This is some balls-out, gonzo worldbuilding and storytelling. Mortimer has laid out a crazy tangled yarn and Robertson is drawing his ass off. Holy hell, this book is a trip, to say the least." -Tony Moore (artist/co-creator The Walking Dead, Fear Agent)
Foreword by Grant Morrison, who called it "My favorite comic of the year."

"A genuine spark of innovation is a precious thing, and Ballistic, by filmmaker Adam Egypt Mortimer and comics star Darick Robertson, transmits that spark with shocking force. It's a future classic, and it comes out in collected form next month."
– Publishers Weekly
"One of the most fun, unique sci-fi comics of the year."
– Rob Bricken, io9
"Most insane read of the year."
– Brian Truitt, USA Today
"Ballistic is such an original world. I haven’t seen bio-tech done this well since Cronenberg’s Existenz. I was in immediately.”
– Adam McKay (director The Big Short, screenwriter Ant Man)
