Cold world war! Welcome to the year 2017... where the Soviet Union has spent decades as the the world's reigning superpower and the Iron Curtain now encircles a planet riddled with war, strife, and oppression. Freedom is a thing of the past in the Stalinverse... So why can't Russian intelligence officer Colin King shake the feeling that something has gone terribly wrong? He'll put his freedom and life on the line to uncover the truth... Even if that means finding out whatever happened to the long-missing cosmonaut Abram Adams -- the one man who just might hold the key to unraveling the dystopian world of today...
This is no alternate reality...
This is the Valiant Universe as we know it and, soon, Matt Kindt and artist Trevor Hairsine will lead Valiant's event-level epic to the architect behind this new world order!
