Cruel Universe 2 #1 Official Synopsis:
Whether future or past, Earth or a distant world, no man can outrun the infinite singularity within us all: FEAR! Join this doomed expedition into the cold, unforgiving galaxies beyond our own as nihilistic navigators Charlie Adlard (The Walking Dead), J. Holtham (EC’s Epitaphs from the Abyss), Kano (Immortal Iron Fist), Ann Nocenti (Daredevil), David Rubín (Sherlock Frankenstein), and Greg Pak (Planet Hulk) smash the laws of science . . . and splice the immortal EC Comics genome into a new breed of parasitic extraterrestrial tales with an endless appetite for pain!
Plus, as an added bonus: A nerve-rending science-fiction classic from the EC vaults, painstakingly remastered and newly restored to its original coloring!
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?Featuring atom-colliding covers from Lee Bermejo (Joker), Tom Fowler (Books of Magic), Albert Monteys (Universe!,), Malachi Ward (Black Hammer: The End), and Liam Sharp (Green Lantern), CRUEL UNIVERSE 2 #1 will pull you across the event horizon and into the inescapable maw of galactic terror. Fun, yes?!
