In the future a mysterious artifact is found on a mining expedition, Unitologists claim it is proof of god, Abraham is not so sure, as the colony slowly spirals into madness. Then shit gets real.

I guess that every comic lover here knows the influential Belgian comic artist André Franquin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Franquin). He is best known for his Marsipulami, Spirou and "Gaston Lagaffe" comic series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaston_Lagaffe). His work has been translated in numerous languages, but little of it is available in English (which I think is an absolute shame).

In 1977 Franquin started to work on a black humor series, called "Idées noires" (transl: Dark Thoughts). That serie was much more adult-oriented than Franquin's other works, focusing on themes such as death, war, pollution and capital punishment with a devastatingly sarcastic sense of humor.

The universe never did make sense; I suspect it was built on government contract.
