About the series
A single-issue sampler from Image Comics, Image Firsts: Ascender offers a jumping-on point for Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen's acclaimed fantasy-sci-fi series. This reprint of the first issue introduces a world where magic has returned and technology has failed, setting the stage for a young girl's quest in a dangerous, otherworldly landscape. As a cost-effective entry to the larger Ascender saga, it highlights the duo's signature watercolor art and emotionally resonant storytelling.
