Even when our own planet can no longer sustain us, humanity clings to life in this thoughtful dystopia where air itself is deadly.

Follow the lives of a small cast of survivors as they struggle to keep going in a world where the air is fatal. A detective must battle not only the deadly air, but his own demons; a lost pair of siblings question the supposed apocalypse; a mother and daughter fight tooth and nail to stay together; and a salesman peddles breathing masks, trying to do some good to make up for the sins of his past. They are all survivors-they are all Breathers.

Created, written, and illustrated by Justin Madson, the full nine-issue series originally published by IT’S ALIVE! is now collected together for the first time.
