By: James Tynion IV

A deluxe edition hardcover collecting the original apocalyptic horror trilogy by James Tynion IV–Memetic, Cognetic, and Eugenic– all precursors for his later hit series like A Nice House On The Lake and w0rldtr33!

In Memetic, a weaponized meme leads to the utter annihilation of the human race within 72 hours. The root of this apocalypse is a single image on the internet, a “meme” in the popular sense. A meme that changes everything. In Cognetic, a powerful psychic being that once controlled one-third of the world’s population as a part of its hivemind, returns to humanity in modern-day New York City. Meanwhile, the young assistant to the Director of the FBI may be the only one who can save humanity, but at a terrible, terrible cost. In Eugenic, a new vision of humanity’s future arrives. When a plague ravages the world, one scientist discovers the cure and becomes the savior of mankind. Hope is restored, and the world rebuilds. But then people who took the cure begin having children who are… unnatural, and the definition of “normal” is forever altered. This deluxe hardcover collection not only contains the trilogy of self-contained horror comics from the GLAAD Award-nominated team of James Tynion IV (Something is Killing the Children, Detective Comics) and Eryk Donovan (Constantine: The Hellblazer), but acts as a precursor to the creative titan that would take the comics world by storm with the Slaughterverse, w0rldtr33, and The Nice House At The Lake. Collects Memetic #1-3, Cognetic #1-3, Eugenic #1-3.

Author: James Tynion IV

Return to the world of Neil Gaiman’s seminal epic The Sandman, in a new series starring fan-favorite character the Corinthian, and written by horror comics superstar James Tynion IV!

Sometimes, Nightmares walk the Earth.

Dream of the Endless is the unquestioned lord of all that happens when we sleep—including his most solemn duty, the creation of nightmares. It was his hand that formed the Corinthian, patron saint of serial murder, whose ravenous mouths have tasted the blood of sleepers for centuries. Once, years ago, the Corinthian escaped the Dreaming and entered the waking world—and the body count was vast. Dream eventually put that injustice to rights and un-created the Corinthian, remaking him as a more pliable nightmare, and bringing him back to his appointed task.

But now a new nightmare has escaped into the “real” world. Art student Madison Flynn sees this “Smiling Man” in her waking hours…and she’s not alone. What’s more, this monster is somehow, improbably, impossibly, a nightmare that Dream of the Endless did not create. And when he realizes this fact, the Corinthian will slip once more onto our plane and start a hunt for this mockery… but heaven help us all when his memories of his past hunts begin to return!

Megahit New York Times bestselling horror writer James Tynion IV (Batman, Something Is Killing the Children, The Department of Truth) joins with artist Lisandro Estherren (Redneck, Strange Skies Over East Berlin) and an array of superstar guests to expand the legendary world of The Sandman and chronicle a terrifying descent into America’s uncontrolled id, where outsider artists, gruesome “collectors,” billionaire prophets, and homegrown angels merge their minds to give birth to a wholly new—and wholly horrific—American dream!

Enter the Sandman Universe once again for the latest chapter of The Sandman saga!

The Corinthian has been turned loose on our realm once more, and this time he sets his sights on the very root of rapacious American capitalism—Silicon Valley.

His relentless pursuit of the Smiling Man will carve a bloody path from the C-suite of Prophet Capital to the bowels of a demonic nightclub, and no one will be safe from his reach. Not Ken, living large in the Bay Area since parting ways with Barbie all those years ago. Not Max, a nervous hedge fund manager on the rise who’s never quite fit anywhere. Not anyone.
