Trees: Ellis & Howard

10361408_665659750181043_5319669909605630001_nWe have ONE more copy of Trees left in the shop! They flew off the shelf this week, and we can see why.

Written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Jason Howard, the first issue tells the story of huge alien “trees” that landed on Earth 10 years ago. Unable to recognize our inhabitants as neither alive nor intelligent, the trees simply inhabit the Earth… and then do nothing. Resilient as we humans are, when we could not destroy them, we adapted, creating a new normal.  “While the background is this science-fiction concept,” Howard says, “the story itself [is] very human.”
