Comments: The art clearly indicates that this comic deals with aliens, along with alien weapons and advanced technology.
The President’s son is portrayed as a major screw-up, so the President sends him off to Area 51. Here, Area 51 is depicted as a massive storage facility where everything remains boxed up and hidden away.
It would have helped if the President’s son had been given a name earlier in the story.
The nameless young man spends his days working at the facility, storing boxes filled with unknown alien artifacts. It’s a difficult and unrewarding job, but he has no choice — it’s either this assignment or jail.
The character has clearly lived a hard life, having suffered loss and endured many hardships.
Eventually, we learn his name is Harvey.
Things quickly spiral out of control at Area 51, and Harvey, along with three others — Celeste, Gord, and Jarrod — are held responsible for the chaos. The group is tasked with cleaning up the mess they helped create. With aliens, weapons, and dangerous technology now loose in the world, the threat becomes very real.
Armed with alien tech of their own, Harvey and his team must try to contain the disaster. The buildup is exciting, taking readers on a thrilling ride as the characters face unimaginable horrors and attempt to save the world.
