October 13: Earthdivers. Volume 1, Kill Columbus by Stephen Jones
"The year is 2112, and it's the apocalypse exactly as expected: rivers receding, oceans rising, society crumbling. Humanity has given up hope, except for a group of Indigenous survivors who have discovered a time travel portal in a cave and figured out where history took a turn for the worst: America. Convinced that the only way to save the world is to rewrite its past, they send one of their own--a reluctant linguist named Tad--on a bloody, one-way mission to 1492 to kill Christopher Columbus before he reaches the so-called New World.”
