Moonray: Echoes of Ascension

In a post-human world, the Miium warrior Adam is now separated from his companions and ventures through a strange, fractured landscape. Pursued by an alien Hive cult, he navigates an undercity of malformed half-men and a living, sentient metropolis. Written and drawn by Eisner and Diamond Gem award‑winning creator Brandon Graham (PROPHET, KING CITY, RAIN LIKE HAMMERS), with art by Xurxo G. Penalta, Moonray continues its mind‑altering odyssey —from graphic novel to video game and beyond.
