ASCENCIA #33 CVR A LUCIO PARRILLO (MR)

Set 150 years in the future, Ascencia towers above its sister city Bethany in perpetual dominance. In issue 33, a new story arc follows Talisman as he longs for a normal life—only to be drawn back into danger by an old, haunting pattern. Will he kill again? John Dolmayan's writing drives a dark, character-driven thriller brought to life by Artecida and Blond's kinetic artwork, with Lucio Parrillo supplying a striking cover. At 32 pages of mature storytelling, the issue deepens the mythos of Ascencia, Bethany, and the powers that shape their futures, while balancing high-stakes action with ethical questions and personal consequence. This installment blends speculative city-scale drama with intimate, turbulent moments, inviting readers to weigh loyalty, memory, and the cost of violence in a fate-bound city.
