Synopsis
The story follows mercurial billionaire Tuttle Barrows, who builds a massive, sealed sanctuary—the Hab—atop an ancient glacial cave to survive the collapse of civilization. As Barrows and his inner circle retreat inside, they discover a long-dormant danger lurking beneath the ice. The narrative explores themes of isolation and survival as hallucinations and violence begin to plague the inhabitants
Eisner-nominated writer Joshua Dysart (UNKNOWN SOLDIER) combines his powers with world-renowned comic artist David Lapham (STRAY BULLETS), comic book legend Bill Sienkiewicz (NEW MUTANTS), Eisner-nominated comic artist Jacob Phillips, and award-winning colorists Bill Crabtree (INVINCIBLE) and Matt Hollingsworth (BATMAN) to present a groundbreaking horror tour-de-force. Mercurial billionaire Tuttle Barrows prepared for everything—even the end of the world. Years ago he wielded his immense power and fortune to build a massive sealed habitat atop a once protected ancient freshwater glacial cave. Now, as the world outside unravels, Barrows, his family, and a handpicked inner circle retreat to their final sanctuary—a place built to outlast civilization itself. But something was already there. Beneath layers of ice, in the ancient freshwater vault, a long-dormant danger lurks. While hallucinations twist their reality and violence spreads like a fever they must descend deeper or risk their last refuge becoming a tomb.
