The Hard Switch is a science fiction graphic novel that delves into a galaxy on the brink of transformation. The narrative follows Ada, Haika, and Mallic—a diverse crew aboard a small cargo freighter—as they navigate the impending depletion of alcanite, the mineral essential for interstellar jump travel. As this finite resource dwindles, the vast, scattered populations face the reality of becoming permanently isolated on their respective planets. The crew’s survival hinges on scavenging abandoned spacecraft for valuable parts, but a chance discovery in a derelict ship presents a potential key to revolutionizing space travel and altering the fate of countless worlds. Pomery’s distinctive art style combines minimalist character designs with intricately detailed environments, evoking a sense of vastness and isolation.
