The Lowdown

IN THIS CRUEL UNIVERSE, PERCEPTION IS REALITY . . . AND REALITY IS PAIN!You've just landed on a barren, alien world . . . Cold, remote, and devoid of any signs of life . . . except for the ominous, throbbing hum from the planetary core that drills a message straight into the synapses of your human nervous system: THE NEW COLLECTION OF CRUEL UNIVERSE IS HERE! SURRENDER YOURSELF! OR BE ATOMIZED!In this galaxy or the next, you’d be a fool to miss EC Comics’ Eisner and Ringo Award–nominated sensation as it hurdles forward with all-new tales of twisted science and terrifying tech! Join writers Corinna Bechko (EC’s Blood Type), Mike Carey (Lucifer), Melissa Flores (Power Rangers Prime), Maria Ingrande Mora (Ranger Academy), Greg Pak (Ronin Island), and more, alongside artists Sebastián Cabrol (The Seasons Have Teeth), Lukas Ketner (Count Crowley), David Lapham (Stray Bullets), Kano (Action Comics), Fabiana Mascolo (Catwoman), Malachi Ward (Black Hammer: The End) and more as they rewire the strands of EC's immortal DNA into a new kind of inhuman monstrosity!Collecting Cruel Universe 2 #5–8.
