From the enduring popularity of William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies to the recent success of the TV series Yellowjackets, it seems people really dig stories about stranded teens fighting to survive in an unforgiving wilderness. Fans of either story will want to check out Endeavour, the latest series from comic book publisher DSTLRY.
Endeavour is named after the legendary HMS Endeavour, the 18th-century ship that Lieutenant James Cook piloted during his first voyage of discovery, and one that was eventually doomed to a watery grave off the coast of New England. The series explores what happens when a modern-day company builds a replica of the Endeavour to serve as a luxury cruise ship. Fate takes a dark turn, and seven teens are left stranded aboard the ship and forced to contend with the elements and each other in an increasingly desperate fight for survival.
IGN can exclusively debut a preview of Endeavour #1. Get a closer look in the slideshow gallery below:
Endeavour is written by Stephanie Phillips (Harley Quinn) and illustrated by Marc Laming (Star Wars), with colors by Lee Loughridge and letters by Tom Napolitano. The first issue features cover art by Laming, Matteo Scalera, Matias Bergara, and Joshua Hixson.
Here's DSTLRY's official summary of Endeavour:
From 1768 to 1771, the HMS Endeavour, commanded by the famous Lieutenant James Cook, sailed on a voyage of discovery around Tahiti, New Zealand, and Australia. It didn’t end well.
Now, a modern-day tourism company is offering a “luxury” trip aboard a near-accurate recreation of the ship, Endeavour. For a hefty fee, elite passengers can experience history with all the modern comforts. The vacation of a lifetime…until the unthinkable happens, and seven children are stuck aboard the ship, alone and adrift at sea. Rough seas and rations are the least of their worries as they quickly realize the real enemy is each other.
Every issue from DSTLRY is presented in our perfect bound Prestige format, featuring wraparound covers with spot gloss on robust cover stock, complemented by 48 pages of exquisite interior stock. It's the DSTLRY difference.
Endeavour #1 will be released on October 8, 2025, with a final order cutoff date of August 18.
