"Mark Russell has proved himself to be the master of serial comics satire and social commentary of his generation... "
- BROKEN FRONTIER
"No one captures the lyrical disconnect between real personalities in fantasy bodies like Mark Russell"
- Gail Simone
"It deserves Eisner attention...a unique commodity: a comic with an honest-to-god stance on the underpinnings of civilization and the true meaning of life."
- Starred Review from Booklist
"In what is probably the most unexpected achievement in current comics, writer Russell manages to make the Flintstones relevant by being topical and candid."

From two-time Eisner and Harvey Award nominee Mark Russell and hot new talent Roberto Meli comes a compelling new sci-fi series... Traveling to Mars tells the story of former pet store manager Roy Livingston, the first human to ever set foot on Mars. Roy was chosen for this unlikely mission for one simple reason: he is terminally ill and therefore has no expectation of returning. Roy is joined on his mission to Mars by Leopold and Albert, two Mars rovers equipped with artificial intelligence, who look upon the dying pet store manager as a sort of god. Against the backdrop of not only his waning days but those of human civilization as well, Roy has ample time to think about where things went wrong for both of them and what it means to be a dying god. A riveting story of planetary exploration and of finding meaning in your final days.
