TERRITORY #1 (OF 5)

MINISERIES PREMIERE Sixteen years ago, civilization collapsed. The world has reset itself into a dystopian landscape where only the law of the strongest rules. A man from a now decimated humanity and a young girl with no past, two unlikely companions, united by chance and a bond they do not yet recognize, are hunted through the cruel and ruthless expanses of the Territory, racing toward a common destiny neither of them could have anticipated. It’s Lone Wolf and Cub meets The Road in this all-too-possible near future tale of redemption and revenge. From Eisner Award winner JOE PRUETT (VIKING MOON, KILROY IS HERE, Cable,) and legendary French artist PHILIPPE XAVIER (Tango, Conquistador, and The Serpent and the Coyote trilogy).
