A Distant Soil #13

In "Ascension, Part II," Colleen Doran delivers a quietly powerful chapter in her acclaimed series, as Beys leads Jason on a revealing tour of the Siovansin, deepening Jason’s connection to the Rebel cause. Meanwhile, Rieken is haunted by a memory from his childhood—the moment he first saw Etan carry out the execution of Ovanon’s unwanted children—offering a haunting glimpse into the past that shapes the present. The story, written and illustrated entirely by Doran, features her distinctive art and lettering, with a cover by Doran that captures the emotional weight of the moment.
