The Courier: From the Ashes Vol 1by Ralph TedescoIn the mid-21st century more than 98% of the world's population was wiped out by a devastating virus. Half of those who lived through the horror were completely immune, while the other half of the survivors mutated into something disturbingly subhuman called "Primals."

However, the vast "wasteland" between these "strongholds" is an extremely dangerous and unforgiving place where gangs roam and terrifying Primals hunt in packs. Couriers are key to the survival of the rich and powerful and are paid handsomely to deliver valuables between cities. Eve Harper is the best at what she does, but when she takes a job to deliver goods to a dangerous gang leader, Eve is forced to use every trick she's ever learned in order to survive the riskiest run of her life. Collects The Courier: From the Ashes #1-5.
