World Enders

(W) James Patrick (A) Nicola Izzo

The end of the world isn’t coming. It’s already here. Eight apocalypses have ravaged Earth, and humanity has limped through each one…barely. Now, the monsters of Apoc 8 are closing in, and the only ones left to finish the job are a ragtag crew known as the World Enders: Bethany, Pullman, Toth, and the unhinged S.A.M.—mercenaries who kill for hire in a world already on life support. Their newest mission: trigger a doomsday bomb and finish the job once and for all. But as monsters close in and hope refuses to die, this crew of killers must decide if ending the world is mercy… or madness.

In close collaboration with CD PROJEKT RED, Dark Horse Comics presents Night City’s newest noir detective in Cyberpunk 2077: Jayk’s Case, a four-issue murder mystery set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077. The series features writer Jordan Thomas, artist Nicola Izzo, colorist Igor Monti, and letterer Frank Cvetkovic. Izzo creates main cover art for each issue, with variants for issue #1 from Jorge Fornés, Richard Blake, and Nimit Malavia. 

A private investigator is hired to find the killer of a high-ranking executive, but the objective isn’t for justice—it’s for an escape.

And with ties to one of Night City’s most dangerous gangs, the death of one corpo may be just the beginning.
