Extermination #1
(W) Simon Spurrier
We Lost. They Won. In the wake of an apocalyptic alien invasion, the world's greatest super-heroes and deadliest super-villains must form an alliance to prevent their own extermination. Two arch-enemies, Nox, a driven hero, and Red Reaper, a ruthless villain, form a volatile partnership for the greater good. The enemy of your enemy is your friend -- but will they be able to ultimately put aside their bitter past to prevent global genocide? What happens when all the battle lines are redrawn and foes become unlikely allies in a desperate war for the fate of the very planet -- and the outcome of a species? Written by Simon Spurrier (X-Club, Fear Itself: The Home Front, Wolverine: Dangerous Games), Extermination is a superhero survival story by an author that boldly explores the dark crevices of an entire genre.

(W) Joshua Dysart (A) Khari Evans
The return of the Valiant Universe continues as the first superhero legend of the modern age is reborn, from New York Times best-selling author Joshua Dysart (Unknown Soldier, B.P.R.D.) and Harvey Award nominee Khari Evans (Immortal Iron Fist, Carbon Grey)!
READ MINDS. BEND STEEL. BREAK ALL THE RULES. Teenager Pete Stanchek is out of work, on the skids, and -- unbeknownst to him -- a psionic-powered "harbinger" with the potential to reshape the course of human history. Toyo Harada is a wealthy business magnate, a respected philanthropist and the most powerful harbinger of all - or so he thought. As they forge an uneasy alliance, will Harada offer Pete a chance for redemption -- or attempt to induct him into a secret network of conspiracy, subversion and control? Pete is about to discover that he's not alone in the world and, soon, the generation who has nothing will take on the man who has everything.
