REALLIGATOR #1 (ONE SHOT)

Witness the hunter become the hunted in the next hair-raising chapter of a groundbreaking, all-new HORROR UNIVERSE from the twisted minds of rising superstar artist and creative visionary Manix Abrera (THUNDERCATS), New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (SUPERMAN ‘78), and acclaimed indie horror director Brockton McKinney (REPTCHILD). With an arsenal of top-of-the-line weaponry at his fingertips and a crack team of expert guides at his beck and call, no beast is a match for the man they call The Hunter. That is, until he finds himself face-to-face with an ancient creature deep in the heart of the African Savannah, one thought to be of myth and legend. The hunter will soon find out that no one can withstand the unforgiving jaws of the undead. And no man can escape – The RE-ALLIGATOR!
