In 2033 less than 1% of the population survived a devastating pandemic virus. Half of those who lived were immune while half of the survivors mutated into something disturbingly subhuman.
Now decades later, the world has rebuilt in many ways but has become something else entirely. Strongholds of human survivors have been set up independently of one another across parts of what is formerly the United States. The rich live in highly guarded Utopias where technology and even an economy has been restored.
However, the vast "wasteland" between strongholds is a very dangerous and unforgiving place where the poor are forced to li more
The story of Eve Harper, courier who will deliver anything anywhere for the right price has begun with a rocky start, but as with any post apocalyptic narrative, hopefully this will change as we get to know the characters and their new world.

Tthe character development was fantastic and the art was more in-line with what you would expect from Image Comics book, Lazarus (Michael Lark, Greg Rucka). I'm not adding it to my pull-list but if it's available at my local shop I will pick it up. Read Full Review
With the focus primarily on Eve, it doesn't seem like we'll get much of the scope of our world in this mini series. That being said though, what we are getting so far is pretty decent and I'd be interested in completing it.

If you like dystopian courier stories, then you're going to like this, but if you've had your fill of them, then you're going to be left wanting more. Zenescope's close to breaking away from their previous image, but they need the writing to improve and soon. Read Full Review
