CVR A BRAITHWAITE

(W) JEFF LEMIRE (A) Doug Braithwaite (CA) Doug Braithwaite

There are more than eight million people in New York City. And every single one of them just became Bloodshot. With the flip of a switch, Project Rising Spirit has just infected every man, woman, and child in New York City with a designer "nanite virus," instantly transforming them into hard-coded killing machines. Now, block by block, the citizens of America's greatest metropolis are falling prey to their own destructive urges...and Bloodshot is the only soldier tough enough to go head-to-head with the entire Big Apple gone bad! With the humanity of an entire city on the line, Bloodshot is waging a one-man assault on Manhattan to root out the source of this machine-made infection before it hits the heartland... but will bullets and brute force be enough to stop the spread of a pandemic deadlier than anything in human history?

LUNATIC

(W) JEFF LEMIRE (A) Greg Smallwood (CA) Greg Smallwood

    Marc Spector - a.k.a. Moon Knight/Jake Lockley/Steven Grant - has been fighting criminals and keeping New York City safe for years...or has he? When Marc wakes up in an insane asylum with no powers and a lifetime's worth of medical records, all of his identities are called into question. He's surrounded by faces: haughty doctor, hostile orderlies, vacant-eyed patients. But maybe those faces are just masks. Some might hide friends, others enemies. Or even worse: gods and monsters! Marc's got to get out. The moon is high, the mask is on - but if he succeeds in escaping, will he find only a city of sand? And what will it mean when Marc Spector comes face-to-face with...Moon Knight?! Everything you know may be wrong - and you'd be insane not to find out for sure! Collecting MOON KNIGHT (2016) #1-5.
