Preview: The Olympus Saga: Megalith #1 From Bad Idea

From New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (BRZRKR, THE HERO TRADE) and master illustrator Lewis LaRosa (PUNISHER MAX, BLOODSHOT) comes an explosive cosmic odyssey of unparalleled scope and artistry.

Twenty minutes ago, a massive monolith crashed into the heart of Baltimore, obliterating 16 square blocks. No one knows where it came from or why. Somehow, the monstrous deep space object evaded the global surveillance net. Three elite breach teams were dispatched to penetrate its outer shell and disable it.

Ten minutes ago, it sprouted tendrils that began ripping apart nearby streets, cars and even people using the raw material to print itself larger. Police, SWAT, the Feds, even NORAD were powerless to stop it.

Just two minutes ago, the megalithic anomaly achieved its final form -- a gigantic, hundred-story tall, humanoid, mecha-robot -- then began marching towards Washington, DC.

Now, our only hope is Officer Jack Casey, a beat cop scarred by the past, who along with what remains of the breach teams must scale the robot from the inside. If they can reach the head, they can destroy it, but time is running out. The government has scrambled a nuclear response and the world has just learned that a second, bigger monolith is about to impact Earth.
