RUINATION is a fantasy adventure comic book series that follows a group of young soldiers as they forge their own path in a world hellbent on destroying itself… again.
The nation of Saldyria was nearly destroyed during its centuries-long war with the mysterious rebels called the Fallen. After a truce was declared, the Saldyrians began rebuilding and gave birth to the first post-war children. All was peaceful until a group of Fallen viciously attacked a fishing village in search of a powerful crystal held by one of its residents. Now, two Saldyrian soldiers (Dante and Jalen) are fighting to save their loved ones with surprising aid from a Fallen assassin (Keila) looking to end the violence. Pursued by Fallen soldiers, the group escaped through a strange portal in the woods. While they have bought themselves some time, the world on the other side of the portal may not be safer than their own…

Issues 10 and 11 pick up the story where our heroes’ journeys have split them up and led them to far off places. Jalen and the children are back in New Saldyria, trying to make sense of the new world that they have found themselves in. Keila and Dante are traveling off-world, exploring the portals that have appeared all over Saldyria for any trace of the warmonger Silas. Nairi, meanwhile, has been captured by Silas and is being forced to further his efforts to acquire a great weapon that he hopes will decisively end the war in his favor.
We have packed a lot into this series, but, at its core, Ruination is the story of a generation trying to navigate a world that has been devastated by prior generations and is more complicated than they believed. We get to see each of our main characters react to the destruction of Caldanna in their own way, processing how the attack changes both their immediate goals and their greater place in a fragile world.
