Protecting mankind from the impossible. In theory, that's the reason people become agents of the Federal Bureau of Physics. But if the breakdown of the laws that govern the universe has shown the world anything, it's that theory and reality are two very different things.
For Cicero Deluca, the FBP was a way to escape a life of bullying for a virtual kingdom of the nerds. For Adam Hardy, the FBP was a chance to find the secrets of his father, a groundbreaking physicist who lost his career for telling the truth about his discoveries. Protecting mankind wasn't high on either of their lists.
But the massive quantum tornadoes tearing across the planet may make them rethink their priorities. The universe is running out of dark matter, the mysterious glue that holds reality together. And unless Adam and Cicero can help the FBP create more, there will be no more mankind left to protect...

Katya Walker’s life is practically perfect. She’s young, smart, gorgeous and married to a fantastically rich man whom she loves. But when her husband, Kevin, takes a dive from his high-rise office window, the pretty surface of her world is shattered—and what’s underneath turns out to be very nasty indeed. Katya knows that her husband didn’t kill himself, but that turns out to be one of the few things she does know about him—a realization confirmed by Kevin’s post-mortem message revealing his membership in a vast criminal-capitalist conspiracy dedicated to manipulating markets and cashing in on the resulting misery. Known as the Names, the organization maintains its grip on the levers of power through enforcers like the Surgeon and her math-genius, hormone-addled stepson, Philip. As Katya dives deeper into this dark financial underworld to try and solve her husband’s murder, will she be in for far more than she bargained for?

Written by: Cullen Bunn Art by: Jeremy Haun
Werewolf. Skinwalker. Lycanthrope. Whatever its name, the beast that emerges with the full moon and kills without mercy has been the stuff of myth and legend for centuries. Some think the affliction is a curse. Others claim it is a disease.
The truth is far more terrible.
The Wolf is a spirit that passes from one host to the next. It possesses them, hijacks their bodies, kills everyone they love. And then it leaves them, crippled with the knowledge of everything they have done.
Many cannot live with the guilt. But some are stronger. Some become hunters, stalking the monster that murdered their worlds. Dillon Chase is one of them. And his quest for revenge against the Wolf is about to reveal horrors that even he could never imagine.
The acclaimed creative team of Cullen Bunn (SINESTRO) and Jeremy Haun (DETECTIVE COMICS) reimagines one of humanity’s oldest nightmares in WOLF MOON—a dark symphony of savagery and psychological horror.
