Get ready for a thrill-packed 6-issue miniseries written by Joe Benitez (The Darkness, Magdalena) & Marcia Chen (Ascencion, Magdalena) with art and covers by Benitez & Joe Weems! Long ago, powerful Immortals ruled the world, wreaking unbridled havoc and destruction, until their ultimate defeat by the Wraithborn. Mankind has since forgotten these saviors, save for legends and myths, but the Immortals remain among us still, ever struggling to regain their former dominion.
For millennia, the Wraithborn have kept a vigilant watch, wielding their mysterious powers to hold the Immortals at bay. But now the Wraithborn power is unexpectedly passed on to a timid high school girl, who must discover the secrets of her new abilities before she falls prey to the Immortals! Retailers note: This issue will ship with two covers by Benitez and Weems, featuring the illustration above (50%) and a second glow-in-the-dark illustration (50%).
