Feeling content and at peace with the state of the cosmos? WRONG! Don’t worry, Cruel Universe 2 is here to dispel that tragically optimistic fantasy! We’ve trapped—er, we mean tapped—writers Cecil Castellucci (Girl on Film), Ryan Haddock (EC’s Catacomb of Torment), and J. Holtham (Hulu’s A Handmaid’s Tale) to remind you of your life’s limited span, and to assure you that hubris and gullibility are two sides of the humanity coin. In case you’re not convinced—or can’t read—artists Brian Level (Night People), Andrea Mutti (EC’s Cruel Kingdom), and Claire Roe (The Hollywood Special) are on hand to imprint horrifying visuals into your eyestalks.
