ARMED Centuries from the time we know now, Earth is a desolate, shattered husk of the planet it once was. Torn apart and crushed under the weight of our wars, what is left of humanity is beyond salvation. Hal knows this - and yet, somehow finds himself trailing behind a mysterious power that believes otherwise. Has there been a misunderstanding - or has the super-weapon destined to save us all really chosen a whimpy teenager for its master? A test comic by Gary Anderson, idea by Liam McClorey
