Preview: New Comic from Oni Press: ‘Over the Surface’

Here’s our second preview of Oni Press’s new graphic novels, which were announced at Comic-Con in San Diego on Thursday.

Over the Surface, by Natalie Nourigat: Ava Lefevre longs to be a pilot, but the Solveran Army doesn’t allow women into its ranks. But the country is at war with a neighboring country, Isolestra, and needs all the help in can get. Taking advantage of this, Ava boasts to a recruitment party that she can outfly their best pilot, Victor. A dogfight is set up between the two, and Ava comes out on top – buying her enrollment into the military. Ava finally has everything she’s always wanted, but she soon discovers that there’s more to the war than what the government is telling civilians – especially after she’s tasked with taking down the growing resistance movement in Solvera. Can Ava keep her dream of flying while there’s so much turmoil on the ground?
