28 stories set in the world of the Matrix, with nearly 100 pages of never before published material, including four new to print stories. These stories began releasing in the lead up to the release of the original film, back in 1999, entirely online. Right from the beginning, they featured the work of comic book luminaries, including Neil Gaiman, Geof Darrow, Dave Gibbons, Bill Seinkiewicz, and many more. This volume is the first hardcover. From the Introduction by Spencer Lamm: This book was never supposed to exist. When we started commissioning these stories set in the world of The Matrix, they were released exclusively online at TheMatrix.com. Eventually, four years after our original online launch, we released two paperback collections. Still, we didn't publish everything. This updated and expanded 20th anniversary edition of The Matrix Comics presents twenty-eight stories, including four new to print, by a roster of talent who have collectively won every award given out for comics many times over -- creators who have consistently redefined what comics can be. Writers + artists in this edition include: The Wachowskis, Neil Gaiman, Geof Darrow, Dave Gibbons, Bill Sienkiewicz, Ted McKeever, Greg Ruth, Tim Sale, John Van Fleet, Peter Bagge, David Lapham, Paul Chadwick, Kilian Plunkett, Dave Dorman, Troy Nixey, Keron Grant, Vince Evans, Michael Oeming, Kaare Andrews, Tommy Lee Edwards, Dave McCaig, Jeromy Cox, Chris Chuckry, Ryder Windham, Jim Krueger, Poppy Z. Brite (aka Billy Martin), Spencer Lamm, Jonathan Luna, Michael Kaluta.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Geof Darrow;Dave Gibbons;Bill Sienkiewicz (illustrator). After his apparent resurrection, the beloved leader Victor Quade is hailed internationally as God. Yet when Victor mandates that everything from purchasing groceries to seeing a doctor will require a mark of allegiance to him, Emma Grady and her friends in New York City know they must go on the run, recognizing that Victor is not the savior he appears to be. Meanwhile, in Israel, the Jewish people worship Victor as a messiah, not realizing he intends to seal their doom. As Jews and Jesus-followers around the globe are losing their lives, Zerah Adler strives to protect as many as possible in this violent, volatile time. In this spellbinding conclusion to the end-times trilogy that began with The Time of Jacob's Trouble, the bestselling author of The Christmas Shoes brings the stories of Emma and Zerah to a riveting close. In the final chapters, you'll discover what God's Word says about the glorious future that awaits you, and you'll see that things aren't spiraling downward but are instead looking up.
