SOMETHING BEYOND THE PETRICHOR #1 (OF 4)

Something Beyond The Petrichor #1 (of 4) opens in a world wrecked by mysterious acid rain that arrived eighteen months ago. Jocelyn Alvarez survived thanks to the tarp that shielded her home, with only a talking stuffed turtle named Quigley for company. As the deluge continues, the duo plunges into ruined streets and flooded landscapes, chasing a rumor of “Something Beyond the Petrichor” that might offer more than mere survival. Writer Dakota Brown and artist David Lujan synchronize intimate character moments with bold, cinematic panels across 32 pages of full color. This first issue sets a stark, emotionally charged post-apocalyptic tone and establishes a four‑part arc rooted in courage, friendship, and curiosity. It’s a teen-appropriate adventure that blends resilience with a dash of whimsy, inviting readers who crave character-driven stories, perilous quests, and hope beyond catastrophe.
