Hum lives in a postapocalyptic world where magic is gone. He's trying to save his wife and has nothing but a freakish unicorn to help him. The story is both fun and emotional with characters you'll love and a world you'll need to know more about. The art, while sometimes super intense, is beautiful. Recommended By Rose H., Powells.com

Synopsis
A broken fantasy that's equal parts Lord of the Rings and Mad Max, Coda is the next original series by Eisner-nominated creator Simon Spurrier (The Spire, Six-Gun Gorilla).
In the aftermath of an apocalypse which wiped out nearly all magic from a once-wondrous fantasy world, an antisocial former bard named Hum seeks a way to save the soul of his wife with nothing but a foul-tempered mutant unicorn and his wits to protect him. But in the process, he is unwillingly drawn into a brutal power struggle which will decide forever who rules the weird wasteland...
Written by Eisner Award-nominated author Simon Spurrier (The Spire, Godshaper) and lavishly illustrated by artist Mat as Bergara (Supergirl, Cannibal), Coda is a relentless kaleidoscope of visual wonders, exploring high fantasy and the post-apocalypse through the lens of a curmudgeonly loner in search of his lost love.
