(W) Garth Ennis (A) Russell Braun (CA) Andy Clarke

Chaos descends on London as the mysterious Gender Fluid is suddenly revealed to the world, putting everyone-except Jimmy and Nancy, oddly enough-through some rather extreme changes. Daniella bites off more than she can chew, Sir X struggles to get abreast of the situation, and our hero finally comes face to face with the results of his life of excess. "This is a book that should absolutely be added to your pull list if you have any taste whatsoever." -James O'Donnell of thegeekedgods.com From the creator and writer of Preacher and The Boys comes the brand-new series that HAD to be told at AfterShock Comics.

Joe is an imaginative eleven-year-old boy. He can't fit in at school. He's the victim of bullies. His dad died overseas in the Iraq war. He also suffers from Type 1 diabetes. One fateful day, his condition causes him to believe he has entered a vivid fantasy world in which he is the lost savior-a fantastic land based on the layout and contents of his home. His desperate attempts to make it out of his bedroom transform into an incredible, epic adventure through a bizarre landscape of submarine pirate dwarves, evil Hell Hounds, Lightning Lords and besieged castles. But is his quest really just an insulin-deprived delirium-from which he can die if he doesn't take his meds-or something much bigger? Collecting the 8-issue miniseries!
