FREE PDF of ALIEN BOUNTY HUNTER #1
(W) Adrian Wassel, David M. Booher (A/CA) Nick Robles
Ben Madsen is a bounty hunter from Arcadia. Yeah, he knows how that sounds, but the job has its perks. He's got time to take care of his aunt, a community that loves him, and the transition from USMS made sense. Following a newsworthy takedown, Madsen is offered a bail he can't ignore. It's attached to a ridiculously dangerous-sounding fugitive, but aren't they always? Unfortunately for Madsen, his mark is not from Arcadia, and the city he'll be tracking him through… well, nobody knows it exists. Penned by award-winning writer Adrian Wassel (The Gifted) & David M. Booher (Powerless) with art by Nick Robles (Clockwork Angels), Vault Comics brings you an original sci-fi franchise, produced by Mark Wahlberg and created by Stephen Levinson.

Roots, once suffocating under cement, tear through the streets of London to throttle buildings. Vegetable homunculi hold up banks with automatic weapons. There is a green and blooming world beyond our own, fighting back against the human pollutant. We will launch a rescue mission to this Otherworld. But it is cruel and unknowable, and should we become tangled in its vines, more than cities will fall.

Leo wasn't allowed toys as a kid, but now that he's all grown up he's going to take yours.
