Cecil Castellucci And The Duality Of “Shifting Earth”

By Kyle Welch

One thing a great book can do is inspire the reader with hope. With the ever growing threats our world faces it can be tough to a positive outlook on the situation. It is at that point turning to a story that reflects the direness of situation but forges through with the message of hope that makes it so important.

Cecil Castellucci, Flavia Biondi, and Fabiana Mascolo set out to do just that with their new graphic novel, “Shifting Earth” from Dark Horse Comics’s Berger Books imprint. “In a not-so-distant future, a freak particle storm has landed botanist Dr. Maeve Lindholm on an idyllic yet strange parallel Earth, with no way back home. But just like her own climate-ravaged planet, this verdant Earth has a sinister side . . . which astronomer Zuzi battles every day. Both women are fighters, and both face a choice: forge new paths, or save the worlds they’ve always known?”
