Written by Matt Kindt, art by Trevor Hairsine, covers by Jelena Kevic-Djurdjevic, Tom Muller, Trevor Hairsine, Phil Jimenez, Adam Gorham.
At the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union -- determined to win the Space Race at any cost -- green lit a dangerously advanced mission. They sent three cosmonauts farther than anyone has gone before or since. Handpicked orphans with no connections to Earth, trained as devout Communists, and restricted from having families, they became lost in the stars and encountered something Unknown... Something that changed them. Long thought lost and erased from the history books, Abram Adams was the first to return. The few that have been able to reach him believe him to be a deity. They say he can bend matter, space, and even time to his will. But, even with limitless powers, he is concerned only with the secret love he hid away from his
superiors and the unborn child he never met. Now, Miska, the female co-pilot of the group, has also returned to Earth...but, unlike Abram she had no secret family. Unlike Abram, she still believes in the Communist ideal. And, unlike Abram, she intends to play a very real role in the return of Soviet glory. Earth is about to meet a new god. And she's a Communist. How long can it be before the nations of Earth bend before Divinity?
