Rise of Titan: A Prequel to Lalovavi

Rise of Titan: Book One is a full-color graphic comic book that launches an epic Afrofuturist saga and serves as the official prequel to Lalovavi, Cincinnati Opera's groundbreaking original opera. Set in a future rebuilt after catastrophe, humanity has divided into two peoples: the Syndica, who live in harmony with nature, and the Pallorin, who pursue survival through technological experimentation. At the center of this fractured world are two Syndica brothers, Kaja and Lucius, whose competing visions for humanity's future ignite a conflict that will echo across generations. As tensions escalate between the two societies, a devastating force known as GENEFALL reshapes civilization and sets the stage for the rise of a legendary figure. Written by Tifara Brown and illustrated by Michael Taylor, Rise of Titan: Book One blends science fiction, mythology, adventure, and striking visual storytelling to reveal the origins of Titan and expand the rich universe of Lalovavi.
