Issue 1

A planet-wide city, Mibdul is the star system’s feistiest orb. Overbuilt under the auspices of Prime Minister Robberbarron, Mibdul has been successfully attracting tourists and investors. But Robberbarron’s avarice has stirred ancient horrors beneath Mibdul’s surface … and while the planet’s business class continues to scramble for more gains, the young Magla channels her grief and rage following the death of her beloved mother — an activist brought low by Robberbarron’s regime. In this very first issue of the six-part mini-series, witness Mibdul morphing before your very eyes as nature takes its revenge! _

 

Mibdul is a six-issue serialised comic that’s a first in many ways: something of an allegory for Malta’s often tragicomic relationships with the outside world, it frames this political dimension through the story of Magla, a young girl whose mother recently committed suicide, but whose legacy suggests a link to primordial forces beneath Mibdul’s core. A legacy that both Magla and a rag-tag resistance force seek to exploit in an attempt to overthrow the capitalistic juggernaut that is destroying any remaining part of Mibdul’s natural heritage.

 

Mibdul is the smallest planet in its star system, flanked as it is by Treaty — its former coloniser — and Velocifero, a technologically-advanced cyborg utopia that’s proving to be more and more of a reference point for Mibdul’s avaricious elite.

 

Mibdul tells a colourful and gripping story, while also dipping into familiar political scenes to lend a flavour and satirical edge to a story that otherwise draws from a rich well of pop culture and myth.

 

Mibdul is published monthly, in six issues, starting 14/04/22
