Written by Simon Spurrier, art byRafael Ortiz, covers by Jacen Burrows, Rafa Ortiz, Gabriel Andrade.

Ah, the English countryside! Tweeting birds, friendly vicars, crumpets and jam: the peaceful rural idyll.

Also: a mob of Crossed lurking near the duckpond ñ quaint and friendly sadists who want nothing but to eat your face off and violate your skull ñ and nobody but the withered old farmer's wife to stop them. Problem is, she's Crossed too. And insane. Can old Wheezy play them all off against each other long enough to escape?
