Ugress

In Ugress, a new series from Pax, writer and artist Keum Suk Gendry-Kim—working with co-writer Jarne Byhre—launches a stark, quietly powerful story set in a world reshaped by environmental collapse. The debut issue introduces a lone protagonist navigating a desolate, overgrown landscape, hinting at a meditation on survival and memory. Gendry-Kim’s distinctive, expressive linework, familiar from her acclaimed graphic novels, brings a haunting intimacy to this speculative tale. With its fusion of ecological themes and personal drama, Ugress marks a compelling addition to contemporary comics from a celebrated cartoonist.
