When Darla Clemenceau was younger, she was abducted by aliens. Tested and tried, she was deemed worthy of visions of the impending apocalypse, despite her protests. Now an adult, she has been invited to speak at a conference about UFOs, aliens, and the end of the world. Having spent years on anti-psychotics, she tells the crowd that all of it was a lie.

But it definitely was not…

A group of astronauts on the NASA space shuttle Atlantis is headed to the International Space Station on a supply run. While up there, they are to install a top secret government device that scans for gravity changes. When their ship begins to be pulled away from the launch coordinates, they scramble to see how the ship is moving without thrusters being active.

It’s being pushed by another ship…

Humanity is in danger. The end of the world is coming and will arrive after 13 separate events all occurring at 13:13 every day for 13 days straight. Is there anything that can be done?

Conspiracy, tragedy, and chaos reign throughout PROMETHEE 13:13. Author Andy Diggle (THE LOSERS, GREEN ARROW: YEAR ONE) has written the beginnings of a sci-fi epic that has already received a nomination for “Best Digital Comic” at the Eisner Awards, having originally been published on ComiXology. Its twists and turns will have you asking yourself if you really know what is going on, while also maintaining a breakneck pace that will have you shouting for the sequel, much as I did.

Ages 15+
