Ian and Alexis find yet another teen victim of the Academy and Project Tome, Juniper Taylor, and bring her back to Freeland House. She and the other teens attempt to bond in the city, only to find themselves dealing with more than they bargained for at an arts and crafts expo. They are heroes. They are people. This is their story. Styled after works from the Bronze Age of Comic Books, The Descendants is presented in a unique manner: as an all-prose comic book complete with issues, specials and annuals, each telling a complete story that ties into the overall tale of the titular superheroes. It is also written as a throwback and love letter to an earlier age of superheroes, to a time before everything was grim and gritty and when comic books were fun.
