Compelled to OBLIVION, driven to ENTROPY, all life in our cosmos can only end in one place: COMPLETE ANNIHILATION!

For the first time in 70 years, the limitless fury of EC Comics rages back to life to shred the very fabric of the universe itself-and wrench bizarre tales of time and space into our dimensional plane!

Our guides across this double-sized, 40-page introduction to a cosmic maelstrom of strange extraterrestrial entities, malevolent scientists, and terrifying technological catastrophes? Learn to fear the void with the irradiated imaginations of Hugo Award nominee Corinna Bechko (Invisible Republic), rising star Chris Condon (That Texas Blood), Eisner Award nominee Matt Kindt (BRZRKR, Mind MGMT), and Edgar Award winner Ben H. Winters (The Last Policeman) as they collide with the wondrously destructive visions of artists Jonathan Case (Green River Killer), Kano (Immortal Iron Fist), Artyom Topilin (I Hate This Place), and Caitlin Yarsky (Black Hammer: Reborn)!

The unpredictable return of EC Comics continues here with the quantum comics event of the millennium!

Galaxies will collapse. Space-time will be distorted. And your very will to exist, too, shall be broken . . . Just remember: it's all in the name of SCIENCE!

Can I Pickup in Store?

We do offer a Free Local Pickup option for those that live near our stores.

Our online inventory is located in Nashville, but all of our website inventory is separate from what's in store and kept off-site from the actual store. 

You will receive a 'Ready For Pickup' notification, either by email or text (depending on your contact settings) when your item is on site and ready to pick up.

Items are typically ready for pickup next day for Nashville.

Currently this option is only available for Nashville. Clarksville will be coming soon!

Will I Find This In Store?

Some items may be found both in store and online, but our website is not a direct representation of everything that you can find inside one of our stores. Our stores have 1000s more items to choose from that we just don't have time to list here.

Prices may also vary between store and website. Website prices/sales may not be used for price matching items in store. 

 

How Are Our Comics Shipped?

All single issue comics come with a bag and board.

All books are shipped in cardboard mailers. For smaller orders we use a T-Fold mailer. We also have appropriate sized boxes for larger orders of all sizes.

Orders are typically shipped the next day after your order is placed.

You have the option of shipping with USPS, FedEx or UPS. The rates for each of these will show up in your cart at the time of final checkout and are calculated by the weight of the item. 

What Does "Check In Store" Mean?

If you see a white label over the cover image, or the add to cart button has been grayed out and the words "Check In Store" appearing in either of those area, then that mean this item is only available in our inventory at the store, and it is not currently available to order online. 

This means, baring any inventory mishaps, you can find this item by visiting our Nashville store. 

Currently we do not have a similar inventory tracker for our Clarksville store. 

What Does "Subscribe to Series" Mean?
