Topside

Set in a futuristic, vertical city, Topside (2019–present) is a single-issue comic from Lerner Publishing Group that explores the stark social divide between the privileged citizens living in the sky and the struggling masses below. The story follows a young resident of the lower levels who discovers a secret that could upend this stratified world, blending sci-fi worldbuilding with a coming-of-age narrative. While the series is brief, its focused premise and striking visual presentation offer a compact, thought-provoking glimpse into a dystopian society.
