"Five seemingly everyday people must face the terrifying question: what if your entire life -- your childhood, your family, your memories -- was a lie? For the stranded, Sisera, Endo, Drum and Cullen, it's true. They are each unknowingly from another world called Standfire, and now their past is returning to try and kill them.

"One by one, The Stranded are assaulted by Janus, an altered human working for a mysterious, otherworldly force that seeks their destruction. Their only hope: Tamree, a dark, mysterious woman sent to Earth to protect them. She must awaken the buried individual memories of The Stranded -- along with their powerful, unique psychic and physical abilities. But even if they can defeat Janus and his unseen masters, they must also deal with one of their own...who, damaged and unable to deal with her incredible new powers, cuts a swathe of incredible destruction across the Earth."

The Stranded #1 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.
