Farmhand Vol. 5: The End

(W) Rob Guillory (A) Rob Guillory

The fifth and final installment in this dark comedy series about science gone sinister and agriculture gone apocalyptic. Nature is a Mother.

Jedidiah Jenkins was a simple farmer. His cash crop wasn’t corn or soy. He grew fast-healing, highly customizable human organs, which he used to heal the world.

Then it all went terribly wrong.

Jed’s family is shattered. His city lies in ruins. And the being called Thorne holds the fate of the world in her palm, with only the last surviving Jenkins Family members to stop her from bringing Hell to Earth.

This is their last stand.

Collects Farmhand #21-26.
