The Concept: In a world full of death and disease, it appears mankind is fading fast. Mega-viruses, a new breed of deadly disease, are spreading worldwide and scientists around the globe are caught in a race against time, desperately searching for a cure. But the only answer may lie buried six feet deep, within the mind of a dead man: former CDC head scientist, Silas Mondrian. Will mankind survive? Does it deserve to?

This Issue: As a new breed of darkness stalks the cold, damp streets of Cleveland, Keith realizes why Silas faked his death and decides to go back to Erieside Manor in hopes of helping Silas. Elsewhere, Jeremy, still at conflict with his nascent existence, finally comes face-to-face with his new identity while the Messengers of Hate and Team Freedom simultaneously prepare for their assault upon the Manor. Is this the final hour for Silas?
