Zero Instance #1

by Frank Barbiere, Lauren Affe (Colorist), Vic Malhotra (Cover Art)

For Rhys, Everon Online is the one place where everything makes sense. So when his raid group achieves the impossible — a world's-first kill on the game's legendary final boss — it should be a triumph. Instead, something goes wrong in the final moments, and the fallout follows them offline. A sci-fi thriller about what we bring back with us from the worlds we escape into.

Lerooyyyyy!!!

Been a fan of Barbiere’s storytelling for a while, & it’s because of stuff like this! The gamers out there are gonna love the spin on the raid streamer life, & the older crowd will be wondering where Leroy Jenkins is when you need him.

A super fun first issue!

Interesting set up. Near future tale of the horrors that await a group of cyber-warriors. Let's see where this goes...

Strong start to a potentially good series!
