by Carl Antonowicz In a medieval fantasy setting called the Roodlands, a young monk is tasked by the head of his order to move the jewel-encrusted skeleton of one of their martyrs to safety. His faith is tested in a journey where the concepts of honor, family, and piety are laid bare. This bleak but hilarious subversion of standard fantasy quest comics will draw comparisons to Kurt Vonnegut and Julia Gfrörer. - Publication Date: May 13th, 2025 Book Size: 8 × 6.5 inches (landscape) Pages: 172 Format: Case-bound hardcover ISBN: 978-1-956636-52-9 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Advance Praise for The Ardent: "Carl Antonowicz knows that the disappointments of man are eternal, but so are their cures.
