From veteran graphic novel writer Will Pfeifer and stellar newcomer Germán Torres, a darkly comic science fiction thriller sure to grip readers!
Zack McKinley was just another twenty-something pizza delivery boy before he discovered that his pop culture idols are actually the advance team of an alien invasion.
Now, encouraged and aided by his (probably insane) uncle, Zack must track them down, one by one, and kill them before the invasion can begin. But the advance team has no intention of letting Zack get in their way, and soon the authorities are hunting for a celebrity serial killer in a pizza delivery jacket.
As his life slips out of control, Zack finds only more questions. Why are the aliens here? What do they have to do with him? Is it too late to stop them before the Earth is conquered? And what if he has simply lost his mind?

Praise for W ill Pfeifer:
“Now that I’ve read Finals, I’ve had a glimpse of the inventiveness and extremism of which he’s capable. I hope the writer has a chance to bring us something just as zany and challenging in the near future.” —Don MacPherson, Eye on Comics
“Will Pfeifer routinely turns in some of the sharpest scripts in comics.… Assuming that you like things that are totally awesome, I doubt you’ll regret it.” —Chris’s Invincible Super-Blog on Catwoman
