Ray Harryhausen Presents: 20 Million Miles More #0: FREE

Writer: Scott Davis
Artist: Alex Garcia

This special zero issues features never before seen images and character designs of the cult classic! The classic Ray Harryhausen sci-fi epic re-imagines it for a new generation. It’s been 50 years since the strange being from Venus rampaged through Italy. So it has been 50 years of secrets, misinformation, and outright lying. Once the world was convinced that the Ymir was a giant hoax and the mission to Venus never happened, it was lulled back to sleep, ignorant of the truth. But no one counted on genetics. Years of secret testing and breakthroughs in many of the gray areas of science created unintended consequences that could bring the Earth to its knees… and only an 11-year-old child can save it.

Then there’s the matter of the rogue teachers, chemical-fueled beasts, hooded assassins and clueless president, all of whom would like to tear Karen’s new robot pals apart. And if that’s not enough for a high school junior to worry about, there’s also the new boy in school, who just happens to be the only robot bigger, meaner and deadlier than Karen’s new friends.
