The comic book serves as the follow-up to Henderson and Garbett’s Skyward, which was nominated for the Eisner Award. Sony Pictures acquired the rights to Skyward in 2018 with Brad Peyton (San Andreas, Rampage) attached to direct. Skyward is set in a world where the Earth has lost a fraction of its gravity. Fast forward 20 years into the future, our society has accustomed their lifestyles around the gravity situation. Among these people is Willa Fowler who was born after “G-Day”, who has uncovered a plot to restore gravity to its normal state. You can pick up the first issue from Image Comics here!
