About the series
In an alternate present, colossal, silent alien "trees" have landed in cities around the world, standing inert for a decade without contact or explanation. Warren Ellis and artist Jason Howard's 14-issue series for Image Comics (2014–2016) turns the first-contact trope on its head, focusing instead on the human drama, political intrigue, and societal fractures that emerge when the world must simply coexist with an unknowable, unmoving mystery. It's a thoughtful, slow-burn science-fiction thriller that explores how humanity reacts to the ultimate unknown—not through action, but through waiting.
