Brace yourself for a thrill ride of action and antics that's being hailed as G.I. JOE meets THE BOYS as the legends of yesteryear collide with the realities of today in THE DISAVOWED!THE STORY:Matthew Howzer never knew his father—a decorated soldier who died in combat. But family stories say he wasn’t part of any ordinary unit. He served in The United Five, a poorly kept government secret and the stuff of mid-’90s internet conspiracy lore. Their mission: stop Komodo, a grandiose cult turned terrorist faction claiming to wield knowledge from another realm—power capable of reshaping the world. That secret war ended in 1989, with heavy losses on both sides, including Matthew’s father.Driven by a relentless obsession to learn more about his father’s fate, Matthew enlists in the military and uncovers a truth far more brutal, bizarre, and debaucherous than any conspiracy theory could have imagined. Now, after decades in the shadows, The United Five have returned—not as the world’s hidden protectors, but to stop the very heroes it once called its own.Because the greatest threat isn’t Komodo anymore. It’s The Disavowed.
