"The writing is lyrical and reads like a
forgotten fairy tale. The artwork is often stunning, with a texture and depth."
- New York Times
"It's an instant classic, combining steampunk, science fiction, and fantasy with an impeccable fashion sense." - USA Today
"The lush artwork is easy to get lost in, and the fantastical setting and atmosphere create a unique background for a timeless parable about time." - Publisher's Weekly (Starred)
The Eisner Award-winning "Best Original Graphic Novel" is back and bigger than ever, and in trade paperback for the first time! Welcome to Anorev, a land that has no concept or understanding of time because time itself has ceased to exist. A world where children have never grown up, machines have forgotten if they were built by humans or if they built humans themselves, and all clocks have been stopped at the same time since time itself stopped. This has been the way of things for longer than anyone can remember, until 314 dapper-looking gentlemen rain down from the sky to start the world anew. Now Ayden, the only boy to still ask questions; Zoe, the robot girl all other machines hold dear; and the Dapper Man known only as "41" must repair whatever it was that caused time to stop, understand their true place in this world, and learn what "tomorrow" really means. But destiny is not always easy and choices must be made that will decide the fate of this land. The sun is setting for the first time in memory, and once that happens, everything changes!
