OLYMPUS SAGA MEGALITH #3 (OF 3)

New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (BRZRKR, THE HERO TRADE) and master illustrator Lewis LaRosa (PUNISHER MAX, BLOODSHOT) shatter expectations in the mind-blowing climax of their explosive cosmic odyssey of unparalleled scope and artistry. War has come to Earth – a battle that has raged for millennia, stretching across galaxies, leaving only death and destruction in its wake. One man stands between Earth and annihilation. Bound to the deep space megalith he once sought to destroy, Baltimore beat cop Jack Casey must pilot the massive mecha-robot it has become if Earth has a prayer of surviving the incoming assault. Because a massive, 100-story alien predator has breached Earth’s atmosphere, careening towards the heart of Baltimore. Its mission? To claim a tactical victory in this universal war by conquering the planet. Brace yourself for a pulse-pounding final showdown unlike anything you’ve seen in comics before.
