Plot Summary

The story revolves around a sinister, high-stakes ritual. Every five years on Halloween, the wealthiest and most powerful families in America host a secretive, lawless game. They drop twelve of the world's deadliest killers into a secluded location—this time, the small town of Oak Valley, Maine.

The rules of the game are absolute: the last killer standing wins. While the heavily armed psychopaths hunt each other down, the ordinary citizens of the town are caught completely unprepared in the crossfire, turning their night into a desperate fight for survival. The 13-chapter epic serves as a unique collaborative industry event, featuring competitive creative contributions from various top comic book voices.
