Ghost Pepper introduced readers to a reality where humanity survived a monstrous threat, but the world isn’t better for everyone. Every day Loloi hits the road to deliver her delicious cooking to the masses, outsmarting her treacherous competition and staying one step ahead of the massive robots “protecting” them all.

For every issue of this exciting new story arc there will be a 90s trading card-themed variant cover from acclaimed artist Cliff Rathburn, each “card” featuring a character from the Ghost Pepper cast, including Ax, the elusive new character debuting in this arc.
