A custodial shift on a cosmic scale

Vern’s attempt to start over with his family leads to a job at Quasar, a science facility whose operations are less straightforward than they appear. When a mysterious machine puts the fate of the Multiverse in view, the story links its science-fiction stakes to a question about purpose and what it means to be human amid uncertainty. Framed as a graphic novel, it brings an ordinary workplace and an extraordinary cosmic crisis into the same premise, with Vern’s custodian role at the center.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in science-fiction graphic novels
  • Readers drawn to stories about purpose, uncertainty, and starting over

Book overview

A thought-provoking and hilarious romp through time and space from debut creator, Tyrell Waiters that explores what it means to be human in a world fraught with uncertainty.

On the edge of burnout, Vern decides to return to his family in the Sunshine State to start over. Starting a new dead-end job as a custodian at Quasar--a local science facility with a shady motive--he shrugs on his uniform, grabs a mop and bucket, and trudges off to clean up... Black holes? Space-time anomalies? Galactic ooze?

Things aren't entirely what they seem at Quasar, and when Vern accidentally plugs in a mysterious machine and finds himself standing on the brink of the destruction of every planet in the Multiverse, he finds himself presented with the greatest question of all: what is the point?
