Description
Visionary illustrator and author SIMON STALENHAG
(THE ELECTRIC STATE, TALES FROM THE LOOP) presents a tense, dark tale of ruin
and vengeance set among a stunning sci-fi apocalypse like you've never
seen before.
An eight-wheeled vehicle trundles
across a barren landscape of ash and ruined buildings toward a lone bunker deep
in the wilderness. Inside the vehicle are three passengers: two
scientists-who plan to use the outpost as a home base for the study of
world-ending phenomena-and a boy named
Charlie.
As the work unfolds, the isolation and
claustrophobia of the compound threatens each member of the expedition with
madness. Forced to confront their own dark history and the struggles of the
haves and have-nots, the members of the expedition find themselves hurtling
toward ruin.
