On
a scarred landscape, two otherworldly armies prepare to battle one last time,
vying for control of a massive tower named from an ancient language no longer
permitted to be spoken. One army is led by a primeval force named Babel, whose
goal is singular: to breach "Heaven" no matter the cost. The only thing standing
in his way is a gray-haired barbaric warrior, filled with rage and regret, a man
who sees this battle as his last chance for redemption. But he knows his
depleted forces have little chance of victory unless aid comes. Enter Tama: A
12-year old girl on the crest of a hill overlooking the battle, who has just
become humanity's only hope. The last in an ancient line of mystics who protect
the Earth, she has foreseen this battle and knows millions will perish if she's
unable to stop it. Now Tama and her ragtag team of malcontents - Ninjak,
Shadowman and Punk Mambo - must somehow defeat an elder god hell bent on
piercing the heavens. Rapture #1 is scheduled to ship on May 24th from Valiant
Comics and is written by Matt Kindt and drawn by CAFU. I comes with four
standard variant covers and three limited edition variants. |
