Nano is a brand-new series, and the book has a stacked creative team, including:

• Writers: Alexandra Grant & Matt Kindt (Knight City, Who Are The Power Pals?, Mind MGMT) 
• Artist: Bustos (Moon Girl, Miles Morales: Spider-Man) 
• Letterer: Sophia Hilmes

The book’s official description reads: 

“Sana is a badass operative of the underground organization The Order. She and her longtime comrade, Lukas, have been assigned to Nano, a mega-city run on prison labor and roiling from blackouts. While Lukas is tasked with infiltrating Nanocorp’s secretive research facility, Sana’s mission is something she’s never trained for: playing the doting wife of Lukas’s cover. In her guise as a middle-school PE teacher, she’s forced to cool her jets and teach eighth graders stretching while Lukas puts himself in danger. But when the signs are unmistakable and Lukas’s mission is clearly going sideways, Sana can no longer sit on the bench.” 

Writer Alexandra Grant had this to say about the series: 

“Nano is a story that I’ve been daydreaming about for over twenty years—of two worlds clashing together—that of science and technology and that of magic and nature. I can’t thank Matt [Kindt] enough for helping me tell the story, and for Natacha [Bustos] and her vivid drawing and color work in bringing Sana and the whole of Nano to life. It feels like a particularly poignant time for Sana to join the world—a heroine whose name means healing in Spanish—to lead a group of women, girls, and animals, to question and kick ass against a complicated tech world that keeps all people, especially men, imprisoned and very, very small.” 

Writer Matt Kindt also added that: 

“This started as literal fever dream that Alexandra had and was sharing with me. It was so vivid and intricate I was desperate to see it come to life. It has such big and wild ideas that it seemed perfectly suited to comics and I’m honored to be a part of it.” 

Nano #1 releases July 29th.
