NAPALM LULLABY (2023)

Series Premiere. The bestselling creative duo of Rick Remender & Bengal reteam for Napalm Lullaby, an all-new, ongoing dystopian epic with a special double-length first issue! A child with unimaginable power is raised to believe he is God by a cult of zealots utterly confident in the moral authority of their religion. The Magnificent Leader has imposed his will on humanity and created the ultimate theocracy. Join them, or be cast out to suffer with the masses.

The right thing to do is never the easy thing, and convincing others to help you is even harder. An empath and a dream spinner have 24 hours to break into the forbidden temple dome city of the Magnificent Leader to rescue the only person who can save the world and kill the god who is hell-bent on destroying it.

Having made their way inside the hallowed domed city during the arrival ceremony of the Glorious Leader, Sarah and Sam discover that some gods are not what they seem, and that everyone has a plan until the Janitor bears witness.

More secrets of the sanctified city are revealed as our family of antiheroes ventures deeper into the dome in search of the Glorious Leader while trying to outrun the Sin Police, only to encounter the unimaginable power of the Janitor's wrath.

After a near capture by the Sin Police in the Dome City, Sarah and Sam learn more about their twisted family tree from an unexpected stranger with a dark motive of her own.

End of Story Arc. Sarah and Sam's escape from Dome City with their volatile cargo is cut off by an epic battle against Janitor, unleashing the darkest hell imaginable upon world in this pulse-pounding finale of the first chapter!

Dreams and reality converge to manifest the desires of one, desires that will be inflicted upon us all. Is it possible to shape a world that works for everyone?

Can Agents of Truth bring reality to Sam's ever-changing Jacob's-Ladder life of auto-renewing fantasy before the manufactured memories and twisted deja vu come together and break him apart?

All too often those we love most turn on us. Sometimes, whether we're paying attention or not, we turn on them. Everyone justifies their own self-interests, but in the case of Sam and Sarah, it carries repercussions for us all.

Should any one person get all they want? When fighting an enemy who has no scruples and no ideology other than to win at any cost, any ethical ideology you hold becomes a liability. Sam discovers that you can kill a figurehead, but once it's gone, another will simply take its place.
