Synopsis

A neon-infused cyberpunk retelling of the classic Greek myth, Labors of Hercules, set amongst the stars.

In Nullhunter, Clay is a war hero who faces unspeakable tragedy after returning home. Seeking justice, he's forced into service for his estranged father’s powerful company, OLYMP0S. His first mission takes him to faraway N3M-3A on the trail of a hijacked shipment of war lions. In seeking exoneration, this quest of twelve near-impossible labors will lead Clay to the very edges of space as he discovers the true source of corruption in the cosmos.

The first in a duology, NULLHUNTER VOLUME 1 interplays '80s-inspired dystopian storytelling and art in the same vein as fan-favorites like Ronin and Blade Runner.

From acclaimed creator MICHAEL WALSH (THE SILVER COIN, UNIVERSAL MONSTERS: FRANKENSTEIN) and with art by rising star GUSTAFFO VARGAS (Marvel’s Voices), NULLHUNTER is a kinetic cyberpunk retelling of the classic mythological tale, the Labors of Hercules.

Collects Nullhunter #1-6.
