From Actor Osy Ikhile Comes an Avant-garde Mythic Sci-fi Epic About Gods, Echoes, and the Strange Beauty of What Survives
Across a divided world, six wounded strangers are drawn into a struggle that asks what we’re willing to salvage when everything else has fallen apart
Announcing WE WHO REMAIN: a bold mythic sci-fi epic from Shadow Crown Comics and acclaimed actor and multi-disciplinary creator Osy Ikhile (Black Mirror, Citadel, All American, Heavyweight), brought to life by the Marvida brothers—artist and letterer Mark Marvida (The Crying Boy, Pocus Hocus) and colorist Marvin Marvida (Spectrum)—who shape a world where futurist tech and ancient magic coexist uneasily.
Drawing from a background in film and television, Ikhile delivers worldbuilding with the sweep of cinematic pages and panels: neon cities rising from dystopian ruins, supernatural wilderness shaped by ancient gods, and emotional stakes that hit as hard as the action. We Who Remain is a mythic sci-fi epic about what rises after faith collapses, where broken people find strength in their scars, of love born in ruin, and the fight to rebuild in the shadows.
Across a divided world, where the neon towers of the Corelands pierce the sky, and the ancient spirits of the Hollow Wilds whisper through the dark, six broken strangers are pulled together by a force they don’t understand. Haunted by loss and marked by pain, they are led by the fading echo of Elara, a guardian of light, into a fight for humanity’s last breath.
But the enemy waiting for them isn’t a beast or a machine. It’s Dalia, Elara’s sister, her equal, her opposite, who has returned to destroy the balance in life itself. As cities burn and the earth trembles, the group must confront the ghosts of their own pasts and the truth that power never comes without a wound.
Their path will take them through the wreckage of civilization, through corrupted citadels of metal and arenas drenched in blood, toward the final confrontation between two gods who were once one. When the light finally fades, will the world end, or will it awaken?
“I grew up on horror, sci-fi, and superhero stories, but I never saw worlds that looked like the one in my head,” said Osy Ikhile. “I sketched these characters years ago, and after looking back at them during the summer, the stories started to form, and their struggles mirrored things I’d been through myself. The story began as a TV series, but at some point, I realised no one else was going to make it for me, so I decided to move to another medium I love instead. This format let me dive deeper into the themes I care about: identity, inner conflict, and the resilience that comes from surviving hard moments. All wrapped up in creative fulfilment that came with world-building.”
Mark Marvida added, “We Who Remain is more than a sci-fi story—it’s the result of years of practice, passion, and dedication. Every page carries a piece of my journey as an artist. I’m grateful for the support and especially to our writer, whose vision helped shape this into the most powerful book I’ve ever worked on.”
We Who Remain is rooted in personal history, threading cyberpunk, dark fantasy, and myth into a cohesive narrative shaped by the team’s cinematic approach to worldbuilding. For readers of Saga, The Wicked + The Divine, East of West, and Monstress—and fans of Arcane, Castlevania, and Final Fantasy VII—this exciting new series taps the same vein of myth, futurism, and emotional intensity.
