Volume 1 - 1st printing. "The Primacy!" Collects Stronghold (2019 Aftershock) #1-5.

Written by Phil Hester. Art and cover by Ryan Kelly.

Michael Grey thinks he's an average person, living out an average life on Earth. But he couldn't be more wrong. Michael is really a being of incalculable power, stranded with no memory, protected and jailed by THE STRONGHOLD, a secret group that has only one goal: keep Michael Grey from regaining his power and facing the Adversary. When one of their own falls in love with Grey, all bets are off. Slowly, Grey regains his powers. What happens next could destroy Earth as we know it.

Phil Hester (The Coffin, Deathstroke, The Darkness, SHIPWRECK) and Ryan Kelly (The Wicked & The Divine, Lucifer, Saucer Country) weave a tale of cosmic horror, high adventure and tragic romance that keeps you riveted from page to page.

Softcover, 120 pages, full color.

NOTE: "...an interesting concept, to be sure, but the real strength here is the top tier storytelling done by the team of Hester, Kelly, Cunniffe, and Bowland. I highly recommend this comic." - Zack Quaintance, Batman's Bookcase

Writer: Phil Hester Artist: Tyler Walpole Format: 48pp B&W comic Retail Price: $4.95. Inside all of us is the nagging suspicion that we are destined for more, but for Michael Grey, it's a thought he can't shake. He's been stumbling through life as if in a dream. Day-in & day-out he goes to his hum drum job, and goes home to watch the same TV programs he watched last week. The only spark in his life is an awkward-flirty romance with Claire, a young delivery girl. After saving a child from a flash flood, Grey's life begins to change. Strange thoughts begin to fill his mind, hints to a past that's impossible complex and older than mankind. Are these thoughts a looking-glass into an amazingly bright future, or a window to an apocalyptical past? Cover price $4.95.
