Robot detectives, psychic cats & mecha-kaiju populate the surreal cosmos of The Martian Funeral – a genre-blending graphic novel and animated film created by Levin A. Diatschenko and published by the Territory’s own Wild North Comics.
​
In a fractured solar system on the brink of collapse, robot-coffins carry out the last wills of the dead, until one breaks protocol and begins hunting the enemies of its deceased master. Meanwhile on Earth, cities crumble as giant mecha-kaiju rise from the oceans, and humanity cheers them on like it’s a death sport.
​
The Martian Funeral is a surreal, symbolic, and sci-fi epic from acclaimed NT artist and writer Levin A. Diatschenko, blending myth, cosmic war, and existential dread. This graphic novel is adapted from Levin’s animated film and is being developed alongside a multi-platform project that includes an exhibition, artist workshops, and a feature-length animation.
