In partnership with Oni Press, Magnetic Press—the Eisner Award–winning publisher known for bringing striking international graphic novels to English-language audiences—has unveiled a stunning new edition of NILS: TREE OF LIFE, the acclaimed fantasy graphic novel by writer Jérôme Hamon (Dreams Factory) and artist Antoine Carrion (White Shadows).
This new edition refreshes the book with a brand-new cover and all-new bonus material, including additional artwork and concept designs that offer a deeper look into Carrion’s richly imagined world. The softcover edition of NILS: TREE OF LIFE will arrive in bookstores on January 20, 2026, followed by comic shops on January 21, 2026.
“This ecological future fantasy features a supernatural conspiracy, a high-tech kingdom, the pursuit of eternal life, and the return of long-forgotten (and jealous) gods,” said Magnetic Press founder Mike Kennedy. “It is an epic father-son story for the ages: bold, surreal and worthy of Wagner.”
Set in a haunting Nordic-inspired dystopia, NILS: TREE OF LIFE explores a world where spirits of light are essential to life itself—but have mysteriously vanished. As the land withers and the soil turns barren, young Nils and his father set out on a desperate journey north, where the drought is even more severe. Their quest to uncover what went wrong becomes a struggle for survival—and a confrontation with forces far greater than humanity.
Blending high fantasy, science fiction, and pseudo-spiritual magic, NILS: TREE OF LIFE crafts an unforgettable conflict between mankind and nature. Themes of ecological collapse, divine jealousy, and humanity’s dangerous desire to play God give the story a modern urgency, while its surreal visuals and mythic scope elevate it into something truly timeless.
With this new edition, Magnetic Press gives readers the definitive version of NILS: TREE OF LIFE—a visually breathtaking, emotionally charged epic that feels more relevant than ever.
