WRITTEN BY CECIL CASTELLUCCI & DANIEL NOAH ART BY CHLOE STAWSKI COVER A BY CHLOÉ STAWSKI COVER B BY VALENTINE SMITH COVER C BY BECCA CAREY FULL ART VARIANT (1:10) BY CHLOÉ STAWSKI Inspired by firsthand paranormal encounters at the liminal edges of human perception, SpectreVision co-founder and real-life experiencer Daniel Noah joins acclaimed writer Cecil Castellucci (Shade the Changing Woman) and rising star Chloe Stawski (Sapphic Pulp) for our fourth incursion into the unifying forces behind startling phenomena—UFOs, hauntings, anomalous animals, and more—with a tale of deep-black government experiments, psychic research, and destiny among the stars . . .  Adeline is a lonely, lost aspiring artist. Raised in foster care and languishing in the cruelty and ignorance of turn-of-the-millennium America, her life is without direction or higher purpose. But when she’s recruited by a mysterious program that seeks to study her latent telepathic abilities inside a deep-underground military base, she starts down a path she was maybe always traveling . . . a path that reaches a major crossroads when she meets the ethereal Lyriana and finds her long-lost spiritual connection in the process. But when Lyriana suddenly disappears, Adeline must question the true nature of her new masters . . . and test the limits of her abilities to see if love truly is eternal.  $7.99 | 40 PGS. | FULL COLOR | ON SALE FEBRUARY 4, 2026
