For this new collaboration, hosted by Image Comics, Remender offers a story to the resonance probably more personal than his other works to date. Taking an inescapable fact according to scientists - the Earth will be burned by the sun to the latter's death - Remender want to look at the people who, whatever their life reserve cattles, keep unfailingly optimistic and active approach, never give up even in the face the greatest adversity, who see the good and the good even in a horizon to Pierre Soulages.

At the same time, the rest of humanity has sent probes into space in the hope of detecting a replacement planet.
We met a family close to the power of the city of Salus: Johl Cain, his wife and their Stel Marik children (the boy and the eldest), Della and Tojo (two girls). One day Johl decides to present his armor to his daughters, the last "Helm Suit" Salus found in the family submarine ship and heading out into ocean pelin outside Salus with his wife and daughters. Marik, little interested in the military history and responsibilities of his father stays home.

One can only regret may have been ringardisés long phylacteries cloudy over the faces ...
This relatively thick collection (6 comic books) is accompanied by the reproduction of all the covers, as well as different designs and sketches, all made by Tocchini.
