Manhattan: The Rising War by Sal Cosenza.
A surreal, genre-blending adventure in a reimagined “city that never sleeps…”
Inspired by Sal Cosenza’s acclaimed painting series, as well as his decades-long fascination with the city’s landmarks and icons, Manhattan: The Rising War is an ambitious, otherworldly evocation of urban living, and what it means to be a part of it.
Lady Liberty, that classic icon in the harbor, is born as a living, breathing building under the eye of eager spectators on a strange island called Manhattan. Before long, the colossal statue, whose very existence is an amazing feat of architectural magic, learns of her human creator’s desire to raise her based on life-giving ways of the ancient god, Schist. But her creator also warns of the rage-fueled deity called Pegmatite, even as Lady Liberty motivates humanity with a new wave of “towering giants” that welcomes all and inspires the world with endless possibilities.
