*2022 Eisner Award Winner - Best Digital Comic*
Two of the most acclaimed comics creators of their generation--writer
Jeff Lemire and artist Jock--together for the first time in this 10-part
science fiction saga set in a brutal world like no other!
Milliken and Mae have never left The Trench--it's all they've ever
known. They were born in The Trench, and they'll die there, just like
all their people do. The two girls, eight and eleven, are a part of The
Trenchfolk, a sprawling settlement of people living inside the massive
ice walls of a vast, seemingly endless frozen trench carved into the
surface of an otherwise icy wasteland. The Trenchfolk survive in this
hostile world by following The Three Testaments of The Trench--golden
rules repeated like a mantra from birth to death...
1. YOU MUST NEVER LEAVE THE TRENCH.
2. THE TRENCH PROVIDES.
3. THE TRENCH IS ENDLESS.
Milli and Mae don't really know how their people came to live here. No
one does, not even their wise and gentle Father. On Milliken's twelfth
birthday, their father takes the two girls on an overnight skate down
the trench--a coming-of-age ritual to teach them how to fish the frozen
river, how to hunt the wild Trenchdogs that wander its frigid banks, and
how to give proper thanks to their frozen Gods--The Colden Ones. It's
the trip of a lifetime until the girls push beyond the borders of their
humble land and awaken the Trench's deadly defender...The Snowman! What
follows next is an action-packed story of survival, loss and redemption.
Collects issues #1-#4 of Snow Angels from the ComiXology original
digital series in print for the first time.
