Written by BRIAN WOOD Art by REBEKAH ISAACS Cover by FIONA STAPLES Rachel Goldman and Michael Heller could not be a more mismatched pair. One's a beautiful and aloof vinyl-clad it-girl and the other's literally a dog-boy in stinky jeans and a biker jacket. But they end up together, adopted by the same tribe of nomads, and on opposite ends of the class spectrum: Rachel (a.k.a. 'Sublime') is worshipped and adored while Michael (a.k.a. 'Evo') spends each day in forced humiliation. In this strange and dangerous world, are team loyalties a factor at all? 32 pg, FC, Cover price $2.99.
