The human race nearly ended in 2000 A.D. when a top-secret encounter between an Antarctic expedition and an entity code-named "The Angel" triggered a global catastrophe.

Beaten unconscious in his first sortie, only to have the Eva defeat the Angel on its own, Shinji attempts to recover from an encounter he neither understands or remembers, still disregarded by the father from whom he desperately seeks approval. Moving in with his commanding officer, Capt. Katsuragi, Shinji sets out to try and re-start a "normal" life in school...

Well, be careful what you wish for. This September, Image Comics proudly presents NOBLE CAUSES. We invite you to see a new side to the world's most famous super-heroes, a side that they don't want you to see. The Nobles are just like your family, that is if you family were rich, beautiful, and super-powered. NOBLE CAUSES is true labor of love written by Jay Faerber, the current writer of Titans from DC Comics, and a regular contributor to the quarterly anthology series, Gen-Active.

The Nobles are the planet's premiere super-heroes, worshipped and adored the world over, but there's a side to them that the public doesn't see... a side they keep hidden. Join Liz as she becomes the first person to go behind closed doors and see the Noble family as they really are.
