Alison Carter is a private detective. Her beat: the end
of the world, or more accurately, preventing same. With an attitude of
"shoot first and the hell with the questions," she leads a life that
would drive other investigators mad, filled with monsters, demons, trolls, mad
prophets, zombie detectives, techno-wizards, machinegun toting imps, and dead
boyfriends. In the first action-packed installment of this new universe, Al is
given her biggest assignment ever, one that will take her into the heart of Ultimate
Darkness itself. The first of a four-issue miniseries, this issue contains 30
pages of story, unbroken by advertisements.
