A neurodivergent futuristic adventure from writer Scott Hoffman (Nostalgia, co-founder & member of the Scissor Sisters) and artist Juan Bobillo (She-Hulk, Howard the Duck, Astonishing X-Men), with covers and design by Rian Hughes (2000 AD, Vertigo, Batman: Black and White), now in print for the first time!

Saddled with Ari, a sharp-tempered witch with little patience for his blood-soaked ways, Barrow is dragged into grotesque occult rituals, the jeering warbles of trash-talking songbirds, and a fight he can’t win on his own…whether he admits it or not.
