But what appeared a black and white situation quickly turns a murky shade of gray, and Reed Richards and his family find themselves besieged on all sides, both by those they thought of as their allies, and by the very people they were trying to save!

Roddenberry’s Days Missing: Enox Available for Pre-Order Now!

Arcana Comics has announced Roddenberry Entertainment’s FINAL book in the Days Missing trilogy. Days Missing: Enox is now available for pre-order through Diamond Previews. They’ve also released some preview pages of the upcoming comic book.

The book is written by Phil Hester with artwork from Ransom Getty and a cover by Dale Keown himself.

Since before the dawn of man, there has existed an ancient and mystical being known as the Steward, whose interaction with mankind has shaped our history.  His ability to fold time has erased his existence from our memories and extracted the days of which he has been a part from our historical records.  His stories have never been told; his actions never documented. But his influence cannot be denied.

He traveled the seas with Cortez.  He saved humanity from the real Frankenstein.  He averted disaster and made possible one of man’s greatest achievements – going to the moon.  Now, in Days Missing: Enox, the Steward faces his greatest challenge, an immortal enemy of his own making.  Civilization is caught in the crossfire as the Steward and Enox engage in a battle that will forever decide mankind’s fate.  A story so epic, it breaks its own mold, chronicling several consecutive days of our champion’s existence as he is forced to choose between himself and humanity.
