One day, gravity on Earth suddenly became a fraction of what it is now. Twenty years later, humanity has adapted to its new low-gravity reality. And to Willa Fowler, a woman born just after G-day, it's...well, it's pretty awesome, actually. You can fly through the air! I mean, sure, you can also die if you jump too high. So you just don't jump too high. And maybe don't get mixed up in your Dad's secret plan to bring gravity back that could get you killed...

SKYWARD, VOL. 1 collects issues #1-5 of the ongoing series from writer Joe Henderson (showrunner of Fox's Lucifer) and artist Lee Garbett (Lucifer, Loki: Agent of Asgard).

About this title

Review:

"Skyward is a great new series with a great hook and jaw-dropping artwork by Lee Garbett. Highly recommended!"-Jeff Lemire
"Skyward reminds me a lot of Y: The Last Man. The book has such a simple and elegant premise that it?s enough to hook the average reader and totally infuriate fellow storytellers."-Jonathan Hickman
"I loved Skyward! It has the best kind of high concept (which I'm not going to ruin for you) the sort of thing you can't wait to see explored over a good, long run. Onward and upward!"-Charles Soule
"A world built from one simple premise that fractals out into a thousand highly more-ish details, and characters to match. I can't wait to see where it goes."-Al Ewing
"Comics invite us to explore worlds where the sky's the limit, no superpower too great, no story too small. But Skyward has given us a world where the skies are limitless and the characters fly off the page with fresh voices and exciting possibilities."-Shawna and Julie Benson
"Henderson and Garbett have created a rich, imaginative new world anchored by a vibrant, relatable heroine. The sky's the limit with this one."-Jay Faerber
"Compelling characters, vibrant artwork, and a super-cool world. Skyward soars."-Pamela Ribon, co-creator of SLAM!, guest writer for RICK & MORTY
"This debut issue finds a way to tether readers to its high-flying story, and the issue wraps with a bewildering cliffhanger that will leave you desperate for its next issue."- ComicBook.com
"Exhilarating and unique... Garbett and Fabela provide some great artwork. This comic earns a strong recommendation. Give it a read."-Bleeding Cool
"A confidant debut issue that mixes strong characterization with beautiful work from Lee Garbett and Antonio Fabela that gives the reader a strong indication of what this new series is about."-Multiversity Comics
"An immersive and entertaining read."-Newsarama
