Tome Attacks (The Descendants Basic Collection) (Volume 2)

The Psionics Training and Application Academy was founded with the promise of teaching psionics, people born with superhuman powers, to apply their abilities toward the good of all people. But in reality, they were merely a front to kidnap and experiment on the most powerful among them. One group discovered the truth. And they've just uncovered the long, harrowing history that led to it. But even so armed, the tiny group of psionics living in Mayfield, Virginia; in hiding from the Academy's forces, is plagued with internal conflict as well. They'll have to settle their differences before it tears them apart—or before the sinister Project Tome and their cybernetic hellhounds, the inugami do... They are heroes. They are people. This is their story. Styled after works from the Bronze Age of Comic Books, The Descendants is presented in a unique manner: as an all-prose comic book complete with issues, specials and annuals, each telling a complete story that ties into the overall tale of the titular superheroes. It is also written as a throwback and love letter to an earlier age of superheroes, to a time before everything was grim and gritty and when comic books were fun. Collects Issues #8-12, Descendants Special #1, and Descendants Annual #1 of the web serial The Descendants by Landon Porter.
