About This Book
By popular demaind, you can now buy single issues of The Descendants!
Scientific experimentation in the twentieth century caused later generations to give birth to a new breed of human gifted with the genetic potential for superhuman feats, both mental and physical. In the United States, the Psionics Training and Application Academy was founded to train the most powerful of these psionics and the Enforcer Corps was created to stop those who used their powers for ill purposes.
But the Academy had a more clandestine agenda, one that has recently been discovered by three of its former students. In the aftermath of a horrible revelation, and saving four of those captured kids, they retreat to Freeland House in Mayfield, Virginia. There, they face the terrible truth, come to know one another, and figure out what to do with the future they all now face.
They are heroes. They are people. This is their story.
Styled after works from the Bronze Age of Comic Books, The Descendants is presented in a unique manner: as an all-prose comic book complete with issues, specials and annuals, each telling a complete story that ties into the overall tale of the titular superheroes.
It is also written as a throwback and love letter to an earlier age of superheroes, to a time before everything was grim and gritty and when comic books were fun.
