A brand new graphic novel expanding upon the story of the epic video game Horizon Zero Dawn, and its highly anticipated sequel, Horizon Forbidden West.
Horizon: a far-future Earth full of epic natural beauty and forgotten ruins, where awe-inspiring, animal-like machines are the dominant species and humans struggle to survive in pre-industrial tribes.
Set during the events of Horizon Zero Dawn, Erend and Aloy are on the hunt for the killer of an important member of the Oseram tribe, fending off deadly machines along the way. As the hunt progresses, Erend reveals the sweeping tale of the liberation of Meridian, and how his sister, Ersa, Captain of the Carja Vanguard, was murdered.

Liberation takes places during a different timeline than the first comic book, The Sunhawk so it took a few pages to ground myself in place. I enjoyed this book a lot. The book covers two stories, Erend and Aloy hunting down a killer and seeking revenge and Erend telling Aloy about his sister's murder. The book balances both stories perfectly. The illustrations are lush and impressive. This is an immersive reading experience.
