Coda Series

Final issue! Absolute power corrupts absolutely. From the mind of James Tynion IV!

As the armies of Dryfleet, Thundervale, and Ridgetown converge, the former bard Hum may be the only thing standing in the way of a new apocalypse.

Hum is at rock bottom—no Serka, no Nag, all alone in the wilderness of the dystopian wastelands. But just when all hope seems lost, a familiar friend appears…

When Hum learns a terrible secret, his life is thrust into turmoil—nothing will ever be the same.

Hum and his allies must escape from the center of the bandit city Thundervale after exposing the clan leader’s terrible secret.

Hum and his allies have infiltrated the bandit city of Thundervale, but the secret villain commanding the city proves to be a much fiercer foe than anticipated.

For every hero’s weakness, one of their companions will be there to pick up the slack, and that’s exactly how Hum and company will get through the city, in search of the Spriggan. But there are some unexpectedly unthinkable things that only Hum is capable of, and after a massive portal appears, Mildew’s followers also do something unexpected–take a deadly leap of faith.

Still reeling from the return of his past, Hum and the hero of Ridgetown must set out to infiltrate the bandit city of Thundervale to investigate the existence of a supposed surviving Whitlord, the dark beings that set about the apocalypse.

As Hum ruminates on his personal connection to stories of the past and how it left him in his current state, the threads of connectedness continue to weave through the tale as he wrestles with feelings over his own body. Meanwhile, Mildew crosses paths with Hum and Serka after a harrowing rescue in the midst of a brutal battle. While things may not turn out how they hope, Serka has a new plan to set things right…

Having successfully warded off Thundergog from its assault on Ridgetown for at least one more day, Hum turns his attention to the Urken soldier who turned the tides of the battle…

Hum is at rock bottom. His estranged wife has left him for good. He’s stuck in the middle of the harsh desert wastelands. And he’s even been abandoned by his mutant unicorn. But just as the world saw another tomorrow after the disastrous Quench…life goes on. Now, the former bard must discover for himself what it means to live — to truly live — in a broken fantasy.

Written by Eisner Award-nominated author Simon Spurrier (Sandman Universe, The Spire) and beautifully illustrated by artist Matías Bergara (Supergirl, Cannibal), Coda Volume Three concludes the critically-acclaimed series that elevates the best of the dystopian fantasy genre into an engaging, emotional tale.

Hum returns to Ridgetown, only to find the city under siege by Thundervale, a bandit city that rests on the back of the last living giant. Hum manages to get back inside, but when an outerwall is breached by the enemy, all seems lost…

Romance turns to taking responsibility as Hum and Serka reach across their differences to come up with a plan to set things right; but will they trust each other enough in the process? Simultaneously, a starving community is easily absorbed into a growing army of marauders…

Magic was once plentiful and prosperous across the realm—but ever since the Quench brought the world to its knees, magic has become the rarest of resources. Bandits strive for it. Knights die for it. And one antisocial former bard named Hum will ride his mutant unicorn to the ends of the earth for just a drop of it…as magic is the one thing that will save the soul of his wife. Written by Eisner Award-nominated author Simon Spurrier (Sandman Universe, The Spire) and lavishly illustrated by artist Matías Bergara (Supergirl, Cannibal), Coda Volume Two continues the critically-acclaimed dystopian fantasy series that explores the relentless hangover of life in the aftermath of apocalypse.

Someone from Hum’s past may be his only hope when Hum is bound, blindfolded, and sent into exile on the back of The Nag.
