OUT OF CONTROL

In these tales from DAMAGE #1-6, Ethan "Elvis" Avery just wanted to serve his country. Instead, he's been changed into a monster! Tasked as the government's own living, breathing, ticking time bomb, Ethan retains no control when the monster takes over. Cheaper than a nuclear warhead and twice as effective, Ethan fights to rein in the damage he unleashes when the beast inside him springs free for one hour a day. His first challenge? The Suicide Squad.
