One fateful day, a remarkable phenomenon occurred worldwide, as all the adults suddenly passed away, leaving behind a devastated and desolate landscape. As the years passed, the children, who had grown up in this new world, embarked on a challenging journey to rebuild and restore the world that had been left in ruins.

The once-thriving cities were now scattered settlements, connected only by narrow pathways of horses and caravans. The scarcity of resources was evident, with gasoline becoming a precious commodity, and phones and television becoming obsolete. The only source of power in America was the New Church, a religion that emerged from the anger and frustration of the children.

In the small town of Dallastown, a stranger arrives, carrying a tale of escape from the relentless Firemen of the New Church. The Church, driven by its belief in a fiery apocalypse, is on a mission to conquer and control the world. The fate of the world hangs in the balance, and the only hope for salvation lies in the hands of a courageous teenage girl, a skilled gunslinger who keeps his secrets, and a mysterious woman with a talent for using long knives.

Welcome to the Orphan Age, a world where survival is the ultimate challenge, and where the line between good and evil becomes blurred. This captivating story, penned by Ted Anderson (MOTH & WHISPER, My Little Pony, Adventure Time) and brought to life by the talented art of Nuno Plati (Alpha: Big Time, Marvel Girl), takes readers on a thrilling journey through a world of chaos and uncertainty. As the children struggle to rebuild and find their place in this new world, they must confront the dark forces that threaten to destroy everything they have worked so hard to create.
