Death Is the Great Leveler, Even for the top 1%! The wealthiest people in the solar system abandoned the Earth for a sanctuary in space, leaving the poor to die from climate change. But the 1% won’t be safe for long… because a murderer is on the loose, with the rich as their target! Soon Elise, an employee on the billionaires’ space station, is wrapped up in a deadly investigation, dragged deeper into the conspiracy as the last body she wants to go missing does. Even worse, her withdrawals from a highly addictive substance are getting worse and causing terrible hallucinations. But those drug-induced delusions are nothing compared to the gut-wrenchingly grisly discoveries at the heart of this deadly whodunnit… Bestselling novelist Sarah Gailey (Eat the Rich, Just Like Home) and rising artistic star Liana Kangas (TRVE KVLT) take a stab at the ultra-wealthy, their dreams of escaping the planet they’ve put in peril, and the consequences of that economic terror in the near future… Collects Know Your Station #1-5.

Yeesh, this is not good. The mystery is not great, the character work is almost non-existent, the murderer was pretty obvious from the very start, and the entire motive reveal was honestly so bad and quite cringeworthy.
The art was not good either, which made all the shock factor Hannibal wannabe murder scenes have no punch whatsoever. Oh, is that a dude flayed and holding his own skin? Oh, a dude with his lungs on the outside of his body? Meh. At some point the artist kinda gives up and the last two issues seem to take place in colorful voids with no real sense of place.
I didn't expect much from this, and it was still disappointing. I normally enjoy Gailey's writing, but they are yet another prose author whose writing did not translate to comics.
