I really enjoyed this graphic novel. Arca takes place in the future. When the Earth is no longer able to sustain life, a small group of the rich seek refuge on a giant ship where they can continue to live a life of luxury until they reach their destination, Eden. They are protected by a group called Helpers. Children and teenagers serve the Citizens (the billionaires) until they graduate at age 18. Persephone "Effie" learns the truth about what is happening on Arca.
This graphic novel was darker than I expected. I did not predict the ending. I desperately wanted there to be a sequel, but I believe this is a standalone. For fans of space operas and science fiction.
