Written by Peter B. Gillis. Art by Brent Anderson and Whilce Portacio. Cover by Brent Anderson.

A savage alien race called the horde has invaded Earth, enslaving its people and plundering its resources. Scientists have devised a method of fighting back - the Morituri process, which grants enhanced abilities to a select few compatible humans - but the transformation is fatal within a year.

Now, a handful of brave volunteers make up Strikeforce: Morituri - an elite, experimental and highly effective fighting force against the depredations of the horde. But the heat of every battle, the celebration of every victory and every quiet moment alone is tainted by the inescapable knowledge that - win or lose - their fate is sealed.

Based on the story by Lawrence Block. Adapted by John K. Snyder III.

In crime-ravaged 1980's New York, a troubled ex-cop turned unlicensed detective takes on his most dangerous case, hunting down a serial killer-hitman, and ultimately coming face-to-face with his deadliest enemy, himself, in John K. Snyder III's graphic novel adaptation of the celebrated story by Lawrence Block.

Steeped in traditional pulp, Block's writing has a true gift for capturing the art of conversation between his characters. These are the lowlifes of society, for whom Block occasionally finds redemption, but who are more often among the vilest beings in human existence. Snyder's art both encapsulates and elevates these rough-cut gems in a graphic, grainy, and moody setting that evokes the dark, noir magazine covers of the period.
