Survivors scrape a medieval living. Great buildings stand idle. Complex machinery sits frozen. A ruthless Mayor rules the people while the mysterious Cartel dominates both.

The outcome rests on the shoulders of the Hunter, and it’s a responsibility he does not want.

This Issue: “Pilgrim Tale” and “Dead Dog Parties”—The Cartel has agreed to meet Earth’s emissary. The Hunter must guide her there through desert, badlands and deadly wildlife, trailed by all-too-capable enemies with unclear motives.
