Have you ever experienced internal or external conflict?

Reflect for a moment on instances where you have observed conflict in the world around you. Wars and other struggles may arise from politics, race, economics, natural resources, religion, or other ideologies. Conflict can also appear in the narratives of mass media-news, movies, TV, books, cartoons, and video games. Internally, psychological conflict may emerge from struggles with emotional regulation, fear, desire, addiction, self-talk, and our responses to constant technology and other stimuli.

When has humanity ever found peace amid this collective history of conflict?

Exploring humanity's relentless preoccupation with psychological, ideological, and emotional struggle, The War in Heaven is a story of one's relationship with reality. It follows two brothers-one driven by indulgence and control, the other longing for peace and clarity-on a transformative journey through addiction, fear, anger, and desire.

The War in Heaven is a fully illustrated graphic novel spanning 130 pages, presented in a classic black-and-white style.
