Ascender

Set in the same universe as Descender, this four-issue Urban Comics miniseries from 2020–2022 continues the story of a galaxy where magic has returned and technology has failed. Written by Benjamin Rivière and Jeff Lemire, with Dustin Nguyen providing the evocative painted artwork, Ascender follows young Mila as she navigates a feudal, sorcery-ruled world, searching for her father while a mysterious vampire witch threatens the new order. It matters as a poignant, visually stunning sequel that completes the saga begun in its predecessor, blending sci-fi and fantasy with emotional depth.
