Issue #6: LOST IN SURREALITY

Bumbling Area 51 agents Gibson and Hatch accidentally activate a dangerous, top-secret device that sends them hurtling through the multiverse. Now, if they hope to see home again, they’ll have to survive a torrent of hazardous new worlds—and each other.

Issue #7: THE MOTHMAN COMETH

Incompetent Area 51 agents Gibson and Hatch arrive in Point Pleasant, West Virginia to investigate a sighting of the famed Mothman. But while Agent Hatch is quick to brush off the case as a hoax, a close encounter with the cryptid changes his tune, forcing the pair to solve the mystery once and for all. Featuring special guest artist Landon Franklin!

Issue #8: A BRUSH WITH DEATH

While investigating a suspicious mountaintop murder, Gibson and Hatch learn that the killer is none other than Death himself. But when the Grim Reaper takes a liking to the fellas and hitches a ride back to Area 51, the agents fear that they may be his next victims.
