A creation myth shaped by conflict

Drome imagines humanity at the beginning of a world, where violence emerges alongside civilization. A demigoddess is summoned from the ocean to guide people toward peace, and a city rises in the desert as the fragile balance between chaos and order takes shape. The premise brings together mythic forces and the making of human society, with war, love, and death named as central concerns. As a graphic novel in the epic-fantasy category, it frames questions of order and human destructiveness on a mythic scale.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in epic fantasy and graphic novels
  • Readers drawn to creation myths and stories about the origins of civilization

Jesse Lonergan rewrites the rules of graphic novels with Drome, a visually mind-blowing epic about war, love, and death in a fledgling world.

First, there was nothing. Then, humanity was born, and an endless cycle of violence began. From the depths of the ocean, a mighty demigoddess is called forth to rein in humankind's destructive impulses, and teach a language of peace and harmony. Civilization quickly takes root, a great city rising from the desert. But the balance between chaos and order is a fragile one, and there are higher powers at work in this strange new world.

Creator Jesse Lonergan pushes the boundaries of the comics medium in this visually spectacular epic. In turns pulse-pounding and heart-wrenching, Drome is a creation myth for the modern age.
