About the series
In Mike Carey and Peter Gross's The Highest House (2018–present, IDW), a young slave named Obsidian is brought to the legendary mountain estate of the Master, a place of immense power and dark secrets. Over six issues, this fantasy series explores a world where magic is bound to servitude, and the cost of freedom is measured in sacrifice and ambition. Carey's intricate storytelling and Gross's atmospheric art create a haunting, character-driven epic that reimagines the classic master-servant dynamic through a lens of rich world-building. It stands as a thoughtful, mature work from a celebrated creative duo, offering a fresh take on power, identity, and the price of greatness.
