COURIER TP #1
THROUGH THE ASHES
(W) RALPH TEDESCO (A) JG Miranda (CA) Bryan Valenza
In the mid-21st century more than 98% of the world's population was wiped out by a devastating virus. Half of those who lived through the horror were completely immune, while the other half of the survivors mutated into something disturbingly subhuman called "Primals." Decades later, human survivors have set up small, highly guarded cities independent of one another across parts of the former United States. These are where the rich and powerful survive. However, the vast "wasteland" between these "strongholds" is an extremely dangerous and unforgiving place where gangs roam and terrifying Primals hunt in packs. Couriers are key to the survival of the rich and powerful and are paid handsomely to deliver valuables between cities. Eve Harper is the best at what she does, but when she takes a job to deliver goods to a dangerous gang leader, Eve is forced to use every trick she's ever learned in order to survive the riskiest run of her life.

ESCAPE FROM MONSTER ISLAND TP
(W) RALPH TEDESCO (A) Carlos Granda (CA) Diego Cortes
Years ago, unbeknownst to the public, the U.S. government built a walled city on an abandoned island in the Pacific Ocean. The purpose of this city was to house an experimental testing facility for a multitude of monsters that had been captured over the years. In 2012 disaster struck and the island was evacuated and is now overrun by a multitude of different terrifying creatures and beings. But something extremely valuable was left behind and some very rich people want it. And the only way to get what they want is by sending a mercenary unit into the most dangerous place in the world: Monster Island. Collects Escape From Monster Island #1-6
