Description
A new oversized, hardcover edition of the critically-acclaimed and
award-winning series about presidency and first contact, packed with extras like
creator commentary, sketches, concept art, and more! This third volume collects
the interstitial one-shots focusing on the astronauts of the Clarke-why
they signed up for a one-way trip, and what they hoped to accomplish on their
journey-as well as the mysterious Builders, who are responsible for the
End, a powerful force that hurtles toward Earth and its billions of inhabitants.
President Stephen Blades struggles with how to tell the people of
Earth that most of them won't survive the End. But when he learns that even the
666 humans he hand-picked will fall victim to the End, it seems all hope is
lost. The same can be said for the crew of the Clarke, crash-landed on Mars
after sabotaging the Builders and their escape ship. Now at the mercy of the
Builders, who have followed them to the red planet in order to exact revenge,
Charlotte and Overholt do what they can to keep their crew alive-for as
long as they can hold out.
In the eleventh hour, the future of humankind
will be left in the hands of those who chose to lead.

Charles Soule was born in the Midwest but often wishes he had been born in space. He lives in Brooklyn, and has written a wide variety of titles for a variety of publishers, including others' characters (Swamp Thing, Superman/Wonder Woman, Red Lanterns (DC); Thunderbolts, She-Hulk, Inhuman (Marvel)); and his own: 27 and Curse Words (Image); Strongman (SLG) and Strange Attractors (Archaia). When not writing-which is rare-he runs a law practice and works, writes and performs as a musician. One of his biggest regrets is never personally witnessing a Space Shuttle launch.
Alberto Jimenez Alburquerque (AJA) is an artist born, raised and currently living in Madrid, Spain. He has put lines in French comic-books (BD's) for almost a decade now, working for Paquet Ed. and Soleil Ed. Some of his titles are: Fugitifs de l'Ombre (Paquet), Le Dieu des Cendres (Soleil), and Elle (Soleil). He has also drawn some short stories for the American comics Skull Kickers (Image), Pathfinder: Goblins (Dynamite), and Robert E. Howard's Savage Sword (Dark Horse). He also illustrated Mystery Girl from writer Paul Tobin.
What is the most unfair thing you can think of? Got it in your head? Okay, forget that because there's a worse one: There's this guy who gets paid money for coloring comic books. Right. Dan Jackson has been gainfully employed to one degree or another with the coloring of comic books for the better part of 17 years. He's done other Great Big Projects with the fine folks at Oni Press, and he's done a bunch of covers and short projects with them as well. He's a pretty versatile guy. Even writes his own Bios. Mr. Jackson lives in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with his scorching hot wife (see? UN-FAIR!), and two hilarious kids.
