Enter the next gripping chapter of the divine war in Ascension #18 – 1999, where the stakes are raised and the battle between light and shadow grows even more intense. This issue dives deeper into the spiritual and emotional fractures shaping the world of Lucien Barnabas and Andromeda Weaver, as their path becomes increasingly treacherous.
With Petra’s fate uncertain and a powerful new adversary emerging from the shadows, the characters are left questioning who they can trust.

The inking team, including Andy Owens and Kevin Conrad, sharpens every panel with dramatic contrast, while the colour palette—crafted by John Starr, Tyson Wengler, and Matt Nelson—enhances the mood with vivid, tonal shifts that mirror the characters’ emotional journey.
