He's a good soldier with a good team that he trusts…but he's about to find out what happens when you put your trust in the wrong people.
Veteran writer Ande Parks, the co-creator of Extraction, and killer artist Dave Wachter (Godzilla) invite you to unlock a story about a terrifying new kind of hero. Featuring open-to-order covers by Wachter and revered artist Fernando Blanco (World Tr33; Catwoman).

Powerhouse creative team Rob Guillory (Chew, Farmhand) and Sam Lotfi (Mosely) reunite for a psychological sci-fi thriller at the center of the Earth!
It's Roy Wilder's first day on the most dangerous job in the world.
After a catastrophic nuclear attack, humanity's last energy source is Lucifium. The mineral, buried miles beneath Earth's surface, is accessible only by teleportation and navigation through an inhospitable subterranean maze.
The motley brotherhood of "divers" employed by the ONIS corporation gambles their bodies and minds in pursuit of a better future for themselves and their loved ones. The high-risk, high-reward mission attracts the daring and desperate alike, and all must be unflinching to survive under the leadership of grizzled rig boss Jax Ridley. But even the boldest will break when Roy's initiation cracks the seal on a harrowing corporate secret… and the depths come alive to awaken the crew's inner demons.
Innards is a high-pressure, terrifying thrill ride for fans of Event Horizon and The Abyss.

Some things you just can't get over.
When Trish Sullivan left her hometown for college, she left behind unfinished business. Now she's back and looking to settle up.
Trish blames Harvey Harlowe for the death of her little brother, so Trish's homecoming is an eye-for-an-eye mission. She's going to kill him, and Harvey should get his affairs in order. But Harvey's dad has just died, and an injury destroyed his football scholarship. Without a future ahead of him, Trish's challenge is all the more welcome. He's more than ready to go down fighting, and no one is going to step in and save him.
Showdown is a grounded drama rooted in the burden of family and the weight of revenge from writer Dave Wielgosz (Batman: Man-Bat; TMNT: Mutant Nation) and artist Tadd Galusha (Godzilla: Unnatural Disasters). It's a gritty and emotional pulp drama in the vein of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips' Criminal, with main covers by artist Steve Lieber (Whiteout).
