Our friends over at Com.x sent over news regarding a new graphic novel, Babble, which will formally be announced this week at Comic-Con.
Written by Lee Robson and illustrated by Bryan Coyle, Babble was originally slated for release by Insomnia Publications, before the company’s demise last year.
Read the premise of the book after the jump and be sure to stop by the Com.x Booth (1035) and buy a copy of Seeds.
Carrie Hartnoll is a girl lost in a life going nowhere fast, until a chance encounter with an ex-boyfriend affords her the opportunity of a whole new career in Ivy League America, working as part of a research team attempting to resurrect the language of Babel – a language, it is theorised, that can be understood by any human, from anywhere in the world.
As Carrie pieces together her fractured personal life, she becomes embroiled in the mystery surrounding the apparent suicide of the project’s original team leader, which propels her to uncover the horrific truth about the language and why it was written out of the history books…
