You ’ve heard it before : a ragtag starship crew lives on the periphery of culture , shit enough money to just keep flying . But when the mechanics in this webcomic take a shady government job , they may have to work with their enemies against a cryptic and sinister force .
Maker / writer Sal Crivelli and artist Nicolás R. Giacondino ’s webcomicFlight of the Binturongtakes us to a future run by a extremely bureaucratic ( and not terribly efficient ) government activity where it ’s come tougher and tough to be a machinist . old age ago , Tom Harris and Jacob Shaw took their radical new starship excogitation to the government , without first going through the powerful corporation NAV Corp — a disaster that depart the pair penniless and imprisoned . Now , they ’re mechanics in a universe where ships are more and more capable of self - fixing .
It looks like their fortunes might be changing , however , when a military officer and a NAV Corp bigwig show up with a job offer : if the crew of the Binturong helps them retrieve an advanced starship gone missing , they ’ll have permanent jobs , pension and all . But they ’re not the only ones after that ship — and something get going very , very wrong before it go bad adrift .
Crivelli and Giacondino have produce an action / risky venture webcomic that amalgamate blank space western and horror while persist a very eccentric - driven dramatic event . Everyone , from the captain of the Binturong to the scold military officer feel like a amply make person , with history and feeling ( and more than a slight snark ) understandably rooted in the comedian ’s world . In fact , it ’s easygoing for the comedian ’s creepiness to sneak up on the reader as we attempt to nonplus out all of the intriguing reference and their motivations . But do n’t worry , there will be plenty of horrors by the time the comic ’s done .
