New York Times bestselling writer Matt Kindt (BRZRKR) joins forces with Tomás Giorello (STAR WARS), the visionary artist behind PLANET DEATH, to present a masterclass in storytelling in this epic, action-packed sci-fi saga. Armed with the extraordinary ability to "save" any moment in his life and then go back and relive from that point forward again, SAVER can rewrite his past, altering his actions time and time again until he gets things right. But cursed with only being able to travel backwards, never forwards, he is burdened by having to spend his relived life in agonizing real time. Travel back 6 days, and he must relive those days in full, aging all the while. Saver has seen our future, and our impending apocalypse. Yet, no matter how many times he goes back and no matter how far back he goes, he can't steer us clear of Armageddon. What would you do if you knew the world was going to end but couldn't stop it? What if you could choose to live your life out repeating the best year of your life? Which year would it be? This is the question at the heart of this year's most must-read comic event. SAVE NOW is a triumph of storytelling. A sci-fi story like none that has ever come before. Action-packed, mind-bending, heart-wrenching, and life-affirming. Prepare yourself for an epic adventure as SAVE NOW unfolds before your eyes in the comic event of the year. Master craftsmen Matt Kindt, Tomás Giorello, and the most talented storytelling team in comics have meticulously crafted a comic that will leave you breathless and wanting more. Brace yourself for an ending you'll never see coming, one that defies belief, as the boundaries of possibility are shattered, and time is rewritten with every turn of the page.

New York Times bestselling writer Matt Kindt (BRZRKR) and powerhouse artist Ramon Villalobos (X-MEN: E IS FOR EXTINCTION) combine their powers to deliver an ultra-violent, bloodthirsty barbarian epic for the ages. The first two issues of the acclaimed sword and sorcery saga are re-presented here in an all-new deluxe format. The War of the Ringed Throne is over. Evil, vanquished. The world, saved. But some people are never satisfied. Notorious across the lands for their merciless brutality, The Bloody Mourners know the war would have been lost without their savage skills. But with nothing to loot to show for it, they set their sights on the City of Clouds and their mythic treasure. Pacifists with no defenders of their own, the desperate city sends young adventurer Espion to recruit the best warriors untold riches can buy to defend them from the oncoming siege. When a drunken brawl leaves the realm's best fighter, and Espion's last hope, dead, he's forced to hire the killer instead. Now it's up to the disgraced Kral the Subjugator to lead a ragtag group of outcasts to hold the line: a drunken barbarian, his jilted lover, a washed-up wizard and his back-talking familiar, a mummified assassin, a mutinous pirate, and a little girl. With champions like these, who needs enemies?

Pressure builds as New York Times bestselling writer Robert Venditti (Superman '78, Green Lantern) and powerhouse artist Doug Braithwaite (CONAN, JUSTICE) tighten the screws in the second can't-miss chapter of this year's biggest, non-stop action thriller.

Surrounded by the floating corpses of his dead comrades, Russian sailor Stepan has just one thing on his mind: vengeance. But the American operative responsible isn't going down without a fight. Because only he knows the shocking secret of the Turganev's true mission, and the global war threatening to erupt on the surface. The brutal showdown begins here. "A relentless, high-stakes, action epic in the spirit of Hollywood's greatest blockbusters. Think MAD MAX: FURY ROAD meets TOP GUN: MAVERICK by way of THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER."

These two masters of the craft are creating something special here!" —Skottie Young, Best-selling Creator of I HATE FAIRYLAND.
