''"For everybody else, Steve Travis is just the victim of an unfortunate turn of events. [[BigBad I]], [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy however]], see him as an unexpected and, by definition, unpredictable [[SpannerInTheWorks agent of chaos]]."''
-----------------
''Travis'' is a ComicBook series created by writer Creator/FredDuval and artist Creator/ChristopheQuet, set in the same world as ''[[Franchise/CarmenMcCallumAndTravis Carmen Mc Callum]]''.
The year is 2052, and the world is ruled by [[MegaCorp Megacorporations]]. Steve Travis is a freelance SpaceTrucker, using his shuttle to resupply various [[SpaceStation space stations]]. Unbeknownst to him, however, a bunch of terrorists led by [[{{Nanomachines}} nano-augmented]] [[ProfessionalKiller killer]] Vlad Nyrki have been hiding in his cargo deck in order to infiltrate [[MeaningfulName ''Huracán'']], a [[WeatherControlMachine weather-control]] satellite, where Travis is headed. Vlad has [[ItsPersonal old scores to settle]], but who is he really working for? And is Travis truly the archetype of the RightManInTheWrongPlace, or is there more to him than meets the eye?
While the first volume of ''Travis'' is basically [[RecycledInSpace ''Die Hard'' in space]], the series quickly developed complex stories of corporate intrigue, industrial espionage, cybernetic conspiracies, and adventure.
11 volumes have been published between 1997 and 2017, divided into several story arcs:
[[index]]
* '''Cyberner Arc''': volumes 1 to 5, deals with the ''Huracán'' crisis and the following CorporateWarfare.
* '''Vitruvia Arc''': volume 6 to 7, revolves around the schemes of the Vitruvia corporation to expropriate the denizens of the ''Hameau des Chênes'' (the Oak Hamlet).
* '''H2O Arc''': volumes 8 to 10, deals with the attempt of a [[AIIsACrapshoot rogue AI]] with a [[AGodAmI God complex]] to poison the water reserves of Earth. This story actually continues and ends in the sister series, ''Carmen Mc Callum''.
* '''Marcos' Children''': Started in volume 11.
