Escape (2025)

SERIES PREMIERE SHOT DOWN. HUNTED. OUT OF TIME. THE NEW ONGOING TWO-FISTED WAR EPIC FROM REMENDER & ACUÑA STARTS HERE. From the creative team of**_ New York Times_** bestselling author RICK REMENDER (DEADLY CLASS, Uncanny X-Force) and powerhouse DANIEL ACUÑA (Captain America, Black Panther)—the duo behind Marvel’s **Uncanny Avengers**—comes a savage, full-throttle wartime thriller where survival isn’t given…it’s taken. Milton Shaw is a battle-hardened bomber pilot, flying missions over a war-torn world ruled by a ruthless empire. But when his plane is shot out of the sky, Milton wakes up behind enemy lines—in the smoldering ruins of a city he helped burn. And in less than 24 hours, his own side is dropping the big one to finish the job. Now, injured, unarmed, and being hunted through enemy streets, Milton’s only shot at escape comes from the unlikeliest place: a grieving father and his son—civilians shattered by the same fascist regime that rules this land with an iron claw. Enemies by blood. Allies by circumstance. Together, they’ll have to fight their way out before the bomb drops and erases everything…and everyone. Set in a brutal, fully painted world of anthropomorphic animals—think Inglourious Basterds meets Blacksad—ESCAPE is a gritty, bullet-riddled journey through war’s scorched aftermath. It’s about the violence we inflict, the souls we try to save, and the courage it takes to crawl out of fire.

Wounded, hunted, and running out of time, Milton Shaw has one shot left to change the course of the war: destroy the Titan Cannon before his own side drops the bomb. But as enemy patrols close in and memories of the life he left behind threaten to break him, the mission becomes more than survival—it’s redemption. From **RICK REMENDER **and DANIEL ACUÑA, ESCAPE barrels forward with blood, fire, and heartbreak in the war-torn world of Nuropia.

Pinned down, outgunned, and running on fumes, Milton Shaw makes a desperate push across enemy lines—with a squad of Narenian soldiers and a relentless bruiser on his heels. Trapped between a dam and a detonator, Milton’s last shot at survival is running out fast.

Wounded and alone, Milton wakes up in the home of a family hiding from the war. But safety is short-lived. As tensions rise and secrets surface, Milton must decide who to trust—and how far he’s willing to go to survive.

The wreckage is still smoldering. As enemy soldiers tighten their grip on a devastated village, Milton must risk everything to stop a weapon that could change the course of the war.  But inside these broken walls, not everyone is ready to fight again.

END OF STORY ARC Captured and surrounded, Milton Shaw’s final mission begins. But when the walls come down, so does the lie... because getting caught was never the plan. The explosive finale to the first story arc of RICK REMENDER (THE SACRIFICERS, THE SEASONS) and DANIEL ACUÑA’s (Captain America, Black Panther) smash hit new series.

The smash-hit series returns! Milton's daring plan comes to a head as he sabotages the Titan cannon from within, but escape means facing an army, a vengeful Colonel, and impossible odds. The explosive new arc begins here, and not everyone makes it out alive.

MILTON is alive but only because good men paid the ultimate price. A coded radio transmission offers his first real shot at hope but LIEUTENANT COLONEL KLAUS REINHARDT is on his heels, forcing MILTON to choose between escape and the people who saved him.

History begins small—in a broken home, in lies, in fear, a man pushed to insanity—and grows outward. Once small weeds invade other gardens, and choke every green thing with its thorns. The choices of one man, trapped in a nightmare, will shape the world to come.
