Knee Deep Vol 1
by Oni Press
224 pages; soft cover; full color
Two hundred years in the future, refugees from an environmental cataclysm have fled underground. They survive by scrounging out a living in a twisted maze of tunnels and canals. Scavengers, misfits, bandits, renegades, and mutants are among the citizens of this subterranean realm. They are sewerfolk, their home the bowels of a utopian city that was never completed.
Life is hard enough, but an overzealous mining company called PERCH wants to get their claws on this new underground frontier, and they don't mind bulldozing any sewerfolk that get in their way. Caught in the middle is a young girl named Cricket. She's in a desperate search to find her family that fled underground.
