Publisher’s description

Cold, dark, and grim, the second volume of Eisner Award–nominated ode to oblivion is preparing for the BIG CRUNCH that waits at the end of all things with a masterclass in scintillating science fiction told in the immortal EC Comics manner! At the apex of the gaping maw of the void that looms over our final issue (for now): Eisner Award–winning superstar Greg Smallwood (The Human Target, Moon Knight) writes and illustrates his first cataclysmic cosmic contribution to the CRUEL UNIVERSE canon! Then: Irradiated writers Melissa Flores (Power Rangers Prime) and Ann Nocenti (Daredevil) join atomically annihilated artists Daniel Gete (Skin Police) and Jordi Tarragona (Hal Jordan & The Green Lantern Corps) to place their bets on heat death or big freeze as the galaxy prepares to collapse inward on itself. Here at EC Comics, we say . . . why not both?!
