Description

It’s the end of the world as they know it, but the worst is still to come.

From the pages of the breakout horror anthology Hello Darkness comes a chilling tale of apocalyptic dread from Eisner Award–winning creators Garth Ennis and Becky Cloonan.

When the unthinkable becomes reality, a group of friends in New York City must confront their worst fears—the outbreak of nuclear war. As society collapses around them, each must choose a different plan for survival at the end of the world. But with the fallout of nuclear destruction unfolding in real time, survival may be the most terrifying fate of all.

The War delivers a raw, unflinching look at modern annihilation and human desperation in the face of global catastrophe—just as timely as it is terrifying.

Collects The War #1–3.
