IN THIS CRUEL UNIVERSE, PERCEPTION IS REALITY . . . AND REALITY IS PAIN! Join petrifying pioneers Corinna Bechko (EC’s Blood Type), Ryan Haddock (The Brothers Flick), and EC newcomer Andrew Wheeler (Another Castle) as they probe the far reaches of space for any pinprick of hope . . . anything? Anyone out there? Nope? Artists Kano (Action Comics), Andrea Mutti (EC’s Cruel Kingdom), and more heed the call to bring the latest batch of technological terrors to the page. Will a stranded pilot find salvation? Will a terminally ill tech bro live on in prosperity? Will a scientist’s quest for renewable resources result in prosperity for all? Probably not, but you’ll have to pick up a copy of Cruel Universe 2 #5 to find out for sure!
