Memetic: The Apocalyptic Trilogy

In Memetic, the apocalypse comes about via a single image on the internet – a meme that changes everything. In Cognetic, a psychic being that once controlled one-third of the world's population returns to humanity in modern-day New York City, but saving humanity will come at a terrible, terrible cost. In Eugenic, when a plague ravages the world, one scientist discovers the cure and becomes the savior of mankind, and then people who took the cure begin having children who are… unnatural, and the definition of “normal” is forever altered. This deluxe collection not only contains the trilogy of self-contained horror comics from the GLAAD Award-nominated team of James Tynion IV (Something is Killing the Children, Department of Truth) and Eryk Donovan (Constantine: The Hellblazer), but acts as a precursor to other hit series from the mind of Tynion like Something is Killing the Children, w0rldtr33, and The Nice House At The Lake. Collects Memetic #1-3, Cognetic #1-3, Eugenic #1-3.
