Joining Sztybor and Fioriniello, are colorist Jonathan Amarillo, letterer Frank Cvetkovic, and designer Piotr Niklas as the story of a dangerous weapon—or innocent child—arrives in bookstores and comic shops in September 2026.
A child or a weapon of mass destruction—a deadbeat mother finds a second chance to get it right and another, to destroy the world! Estranged from her family, a troubled mom finds a baby kaiju, the first of its kind since their forced extinction. Despite its monstrous nature, she sees an innocent child worthy of love and protection, but will its true power soon be unleashed? Alongside her boyfriend, the son of an alcoholic veteran and her teammate, an eccentric chain smoker—the trio become entangled in a government conspiracy. With the yakuza, monster hunters, and a crazy sushi chef after them, they must make a choice: save the baby, save the world, or save themselves.
