Arca

The world ended, but the wealthiest citizens had a plan…the ARCA. Aboard a craft headed for a new planet called Eden, earth’s billionaires live a life of luxury, all served by children and teenagers who toil in exchange for a promised life of freedom once ARCA makes landfall. One of the teenagers—Effie—begins to suspect that not all of this story adds up. And as she pulls at the thread of the ARCA, larger mysteries reveal themselves. And at the same time, every step brings greater danger to Effie and her friends. In this world, the children and teenagers—called Settlers—are prevented from learning to read. Effie, though, has secretly taught herself. And this ability serves as her hidden power in confronting those who would control and hurt her. ARCA is illustrated by Eisner-nominated artist Jesse Lonergan, who imbues the pages with dazzling design and intense action.
