Ascender Compendium

In Ascender, writer Jeff Lemire and artist Dustin Nguyen reunite for a heartfelt, fantasy-tinged sequel to their acclaimed Descender saga, set ten years after the catastrophic failure of all advanced technology. Published by Image, this series follows the scattered survivors of that world, where magic has risen to fill the void left by machines, and a young girl named Mila must navigate a dangerous new realm of witches and cosmic threats. The creative duo's signature watercolor art and emotional storytelling make this a visually stunning, deeply personal exploration of family, loss, and hope.
