At the star-lined edges of infinity, EC Comics’ Eisner Award–nominated science-fiction smash returns to draw more worlds into the maw of its gravitational vortex!

Whether future or past, Earth or a distant world, no man can outrun the infinite singularity within us all: FEAR! Join our next doomed expedition into the cold, unforgiving galaxies beyond our own as nihilistic navigators Cecil Castellucci (High Strangeness), Chris Condon (Ultimate Wolverine), Melissa Flores (Biker Mice from Mars), Sarah Gailey (Eat the Rich), Ryan Haddock (The Brothers Flick), J. Holtham (The Horizon Experiment), Rian Hughes (The Black Locomotive), Ann Nocenti (Daredevil), Greg Pak (Planet Hulk), and Dave Wielgosz (Batman: The Brave and the Bold) join sadistically stellar artists Charlie Adlard (The Walking Dead), Kano (Gotham Central), Sami Kivelä (Abbott), Brian Level (Poison Ivy), Andrea Mutti (Rebels), Anna Readman (2000 AD), Claire Roe (Dark Spaces: The Hollywood Special), Riley Rossmo (Batman: Black & White), and David Rubín (Black Hammer) to splice the immortal EC Comics genome into a new breed of parasitic extraterrestrial tales . . . with an endless appetite for pain!

Beyond space, beyond oblivion . . . there is something vast, unsympathetic, and envious that yearns to consume us all in this CRUEL UNIVERSE! Let’s make it work for it, shall we?

What’s that in the sky? A flaming meteor, hurtling toward Earth? An invading alien armada? No — it’s the latest issue of EC’s Eisner- and Ringo Award–nominated science-fiction monstrosity… and no one will be spared!

As humanity braces for the imminent collapse of society, the devious minds of writers Mike Carey, Melissa Flores, and Jeff Jensen join forces with apocalyptic artists Kano, Lukas Ketner, and more to drag our fast-devolving civilization toward its much-deserved end. Give in to your darkest impulses and enjoy the chaos while you still can.

For millennia, mankind has yearned to explore the stars. Foolish humans—that was your first mistake! Like a stray space capsule that’s unexpectedly escaped our solar system and is now cursed to rocket forward at ever-escalating velocities that will slowly reduce its crew to a slick film of goo, EC Comics proudly presents a new roster of callously cosmic tales positively oozing with pain, paranoia, and the pent-up regret of human ambition! To copilot this doomed survey of the stars, join writers Chris Condon (Ultimate Wolverine), Melissa Flores (Power Rangers Prime), and Dave Wielgosz (Batman: The Brave and the Bold) as they execute the logarithmic calculations that could save our explorers… only for the danger-defying artists Sami Kivelä (Abbott), Claire Roe (EC’s Epitaphs from the Abyss), and Riley Rossmo (Harley Quinn) to bear witness to inescapable galactic calamity of their all-too-human hubris. Whoops!
