Mankind’s rise and fall in space begins here! Two thousand years from now, the Earth is nearly dead. A bold group of explorers led by philanthropist Thomm Coney pushes forward to take the first tentative steps out of Earth’s solar system. Their quest: new worlds to colonize, so that humanity may yet have a chance at survival. Facing impossible odds, political agendas, and a fanatical terrorist regime bent on their destruction, Coney and his crew brave the dangers of a potentially volatile star drive in order to preserve a civilization intent not only on killing itself, but also on taking down every other living thing around it. Will mankind set aside its greed long enough to see a future amongst the stars?

An intense and in depth look at the mechanics and personalities of the Critical Millennium!

This intricate art and data book will guide you through the sensory overload that makes earth of the future so distinct and insane, but unnervingly close to our own. Critical Overload tells a narrative tale of the world of Critical Millennium through excerpts from the journal and memoirs of its main protagonist, Thomm Ander Coney. This journal describes the world and its history through Thomm’s personal reflections as he prepares to leave the dystopic Earth behind and explore the universe beyond.

Critical Overload features incredible art and design work by series artist Dan Dussault, most of which has never before been published. In addition to covering the environments, characters and technology of the first series, Critical Overload looks ahead at material from the upcoming Critical Millennium graphic novels, BEACON and MOBIUS. Includes character bios, ship blueprints, invaluable insights into the universe, and more!
