Return to a world transformed by the silent, towering presence of extraterrestrial "Trees" in Trees Vol. 3: Three Fates. Written by the legendary Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, Castlevania) and illustrated by the kinetic Jason Howard (Super Dinosaur, Cemetery Beach), this Image Comics trade paperback shifts the focus to a remote Russian village for a self-contained murder mystery set against the backdrop of global enigma.

This item is Brand New, perfect for readers who enjoy slow-burn sci-fi, "cold case" mysteries, and atmospheric world-building.

A Murder Mystery at the World's End

• The Story: In a small, desolate Russian town under the shadow of a Tree, a body is discovered. Local police officer Klara Voranova is tasked with solving a crime that no one seems to care about, in a world that has grown indifferent to human life since the Trees arrived.

• Stand-Alone Noir: While part of the larger Trees mythos, Three Fates functions beautifully as a standalone detective story, focusing on the sociological and psychological impact of the alien presence rather than grand galactic battles.

• Exceptional Craftsmanship: Warren Ellis delivers a tight, cynical, and deeply human script, while Jason Howard’s art captures the biting cold and oppressive scale of the Trees with masterly detail.

• Sci-Fi Realism: This volume continues the series' tradition of exploring how humanity adapts—or fails to adapt—to a monumental shift in reality that it cannot understand or control.
