COLLIDER (2013)

"It started small: temporary gravity failures, time reversal loops, entropy reversals. With much fanfare a new government agency was formed with a mandate 'to prevent and protect.' Its official title: The Federal Bureau of Physics. Humans, if nothing else, adapt to the changing parameters of their existence. What was extraordinary soon became ordinary, a part of people's daily lives. They move on and do what people have always done: survive. But even that new status quo is now under threat. Things are getting worse, and it falls to Special Agent Adam Hardy and his FBP team to figure out what's going on, before it's too late "

"They call it a 'Bubbleverse.' Not quite an alternate reality but a pocket universe-like a soap bubble forming on top of another soap bubble-that mirrors our own. People from our world are trapped inside, and FBP field-agents Adam and Jay volunteer for a daring rescue mission before a devastating collapse. But things are not what they seem: There's a traitor in the Federal Bureau of Physics, and things are falling apart "

"Vertigo's strangest new series continues! While FBP Agent Adam Hardy sticks to his mission, inside the 'bubbleverse' his partner Jay is carrying out a very different operation, one that will endanger them both and throw the world of Collider on its head!"

"Science, betrayal and intrigue! With the BubbleVerse collapsing around them, who will get out alive and live to tell the tale? The opening story arc of Vertigo's strangest new series comes to a conclusion, and things will only get stranger from here "

"With the dust still settling on the BubbleVerse disaster, Adam takes a trip into the desert to look for answers about his past and the father he never knew. "

"When the newest member of the team is introduced, nothing is what it first appears - again! The agents of the FBP have learned to deal with unruly physics, but can they learn to deal with each other? The turbulent nature of the FBP gets even crazier in issue #6."

"When a straightforward time dilation takes a turn for the strange, one FBP agent gets more than she bargained for...and with a young life on the line, how far is she willing to go? "

"During dismantle and removal duty in the 51st state, Rosa and Adam are invited to take part in an experiment that will test their limits and blur their concept of reality."

"After a beautiful moment is shattered, Rosa and Adam get to see firsthand why Nakeet is known as the strangest town north of the 48."

"The mystery at the heart of the 'quantum can opener' is revealed, but it may be too late for Adam and Rosa ."

"One man's reality is another man's machine gun shootout! Adam and Rosa are up against more than they bargained for, but physics could be on their good side for once! The dicey adventures of everyone's favorite FBP agents continue here!"

"'...stick a branch up his ass, he'll be a popsicle by morning ' Adam gets lost in the Alaskan tundra while Rosa loses herself in an attempt to get home. Will the gang overcome their personal desires and make it out of the alternate universe alive?"

"The conclusion of the 'Wish You Were Here' story arc! Realities collide, sparks fly and history will come back to haunt Adam!"

"A Vertigo 'Defy Covers' issue! Every journey starts with a single step. Cicero's started when he crashed into a TV repair shop and eventually landed in the FBP Academy. This special two-part story features art by cover artist Nathan Fox and Alberto Ponticelli."

"Wave or particle? Jerk or hero? Cicero's about to discover that both are simultaneously possibilities."

"With the secrets of his father's final work laid bare will Adam sign up to save the world? New series artist Alberto Ponticelli makes his debut in this issue that kicks off a new story arc in world where physics has gone mad!"

"With the universe tearing apart at the seams, Adam is faced with a choice: either watch from the sidelines or join forces with a man he cannot trust."

"With the fate of the universe hanging in the balance, an unlikely new ally reveals his cosmic plan to save humanity."

"Adam and Rosa are forced to make impossible decisions at the end of the universe. This is not an understatement! This is not hyperbole! Physics continues to go mad and everything is changing forever. "

"Interdimensional space, dark-energy super bridges, and a borderline insane plan to save humanity from annihilation what could possibily go wrong?"

"Everyone is scrambling in different directions to save the universe - which is really complicated when you add the fourth, fifth and sixth dimensions to the map!"

"'Who controls the past, controls the future.'-George Orwell, 1984"

"Out in the back of beyond, in the place between time and space, the future of everything rests in Adam's hands: (R/R)² - (8/3) pG? - (1/3) ?c² - [(k/c) ÷ (R)²] Nothing expands forever."
