Description:Welcome to the Conservatory. After Earth was shattered into surviving pockets across the galaxy, humanitys most talented young women train at this prestigious celestial boarding school to become the next generation of mech pilots. But these students arent soldiers, theyre ballerinas; and the mechs arent built for battle, but performance. All engineered in body and mind to entertain a ruling class of cosmic patrons in an annual life-or-death recital of mankinds only unifying story: the saga of Appolyta the Huntress, a goddess whose pursuit of one last elusive prey ends in heartbreak. This years top recruits, the quietly ambitious Mar and rebellious Rhea, endure a cutthroat curriculum to compete for the crowning title of Prima Apparata. As their bond deepens and Mars obsessive quest puts her under the wing of Appolyta herself, the line between art and indoctrination blurs --and the great personal cost of perfection will transform their lives. Black Swan and Never Let Me Go meet Pacific Rim in this groundbreaking space opera from rising debut writer Olivia Dufault (Love Ignited, FXs Legion) and fan-favorite veteran illustrator Rebekah Isaacs (BRZRKR: Fallen Empire, Money Shot)!
All comics bagged & boarded -- shipped in cardboard mailers -- larger orders double boxed!Printing & Grade:Unless otherwise noted in the item specifics, all comics are first printings in Near Mint Minus (NM-) 9.2 condition or better. While most books we ship may grade higher, 9.2 is the only condition we officially guarantee.According to industry grading standards, a comic in NM- 9.2 condition may exhibit 4–6 minor defects, which can include (but are not limited to)
- Small spine ticks
- Light stress marks
- Minor edge or corner wear
- Up to 1/8\" bend (no color break)
Our grading guidelines align with industry standards. It’s also important to understand that newly published comics often have minor imperfections even when fresh out of the box. Publishers consider books in the Fine to Near Mint range undamaged and sellable. However, their standards for what qualifies as “damaged” are often lower than those of grade-sensitive collectors. Because of this, we cannot guarantee flawless (9.4 to 9.8) copies unless that specific grade is stated in the listing.
