Get Kids into Survey Comics by Mathew Sullivan, illustrated by Marek Jagucki
When Kwame, Maddison, Miles and Setsuko discover and activate four unusual VR headsets, they are contacted by a shadowy stranger: a cloaked traveller with cybernetic parts, who claims to be from a dreadful future... Before they know it, the four are transported through time, put in control of their own humanoid robots – fully loaded with salvaged surveyor tech – and tasked with saving a world on the brink of complete catastrophe! The GeoSquad comics introduce readers to the exciting world of geo-surveying, and its crucial importance in terms of human ecological impact, urban and industrial development, and global conservation. Through the time-splitting adventures of a diverse central cast – four friends with unique geological skills and interests – the comics explore the significant responsibilities we have to our planet. The team learn from the future in order to save the present, and in doing so, they raise awareness of the eco issues we face today, and what might happen if there aren’t enough people like them (i.e. the reader) – young and full of potential – to tackle the critical challenges of global conservation in the near future.
