As Babel’s dark forces in the Deadside rise, the afterlife’s last chance at survival rests in the living’s greatest champions. But to save heaven itself, MI-6 agent Colin King – aka Ninjak– must confront his greatest fears…and test his trusted steel against the fantastic and unknown powers of sorcery. With Punk Mambo, the Geomancer, and Shadowman at his side, Ninjak will lead the supernatural’s greatest champions into a suicide mission against beasts and barbarians…and the very gods themselves!
On June 22nd, Matt Kindt and CAFU lead Ninjak and Shadowman into their world-ending battle for the fate of Earth and the many realms beyond as the forces of the Deadside meet doom head on, only in RAPTURE #2 (of 4) – featuring an astonishing assortment of covers from Mico Suayan (BLOODSHOT SALVATION), J.G. Jones (Final Crisis), Kano (Daredevil), and Clayton Crain (RAI)!
