Publisher Review

"Genuinely one of the best comics you'll read this year. Do not miss it."-Scott Snyder "A story for our zeitgeist. SIMMONDS' art invokes Bill Sienkiewicz."-Entertainment Weekly "A wonderfully dizzy mixture of Men in Black, John Carpenter, Stephen King, The Matrix, and 1970s conspiracy thrillers."-Forbes "It is FANTASTIC. Can't wait to read the whole series!"-Patton Oswalt "A new conspiracy thriller comic that should appeal to anyone with a fondness for The X-Files."-IGN
