Overview

A deluxe edition slipcase hardcover collecting the original apocalyptic horror trilogy by James Tynion IV—Memetic, Cognetic, and Eugenic— all precursors for his later hit series like A Nice House On The Lake and w0rldtr33!

In Memetic, a weaponized meme leads to the utter annihilation of the human race within 72 hours. The root of this apocalypse is a single image on the internet, a "meme" in the popular sense. A meme that changes everything. In Cognetic, a powerful psychic being that once controlled one-third of the world's population as a part of its hivemind, returns to humanity in modern-day New York City. Meanwhile, the young assistant to the Director of the FBI may be the only one who can save humanity, but at a terrible, terrible cost. In Eugenic, a new vision of humanity’s future arrives. When a plague ravages the world, one scientist discovers the cure and becomes the savior of mankind. Hope is restored, and the world rebuilds. But then people who took the cure begin having children who are... unnatural, and the definition of “normal” is forever altered. This deluxe hardcover collection not only contains the trilogy of self-contained horror comics from the GLAAD Award-nominated team of James Tynion IV (Something is Killing the Children, Detective Comics) and Eryk Donovan (Constantine: The Hellblazer), but acts as a precursor to the creative titan that would take the comics world by storm with the Slaughterverse, w0rldtr33, and The Nice House At The Lake. Collects Memetic #1-3, Cognetic #1-3, Eugenic #1-3.

About the Author

James Tynion IV is a comic book writer, best known for his work on the Batman franchise for DC Comics. James’ comics career began with co-writing the back-up stories on Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s character-defining run on Batman, which would lead to him making his own name on a number of Bat-centric series. This work would culminate in James serving as the showrunner of two consecutive weekly comic series, Batman Eternal and Batman & Robin Eternal, followed by writing the massive crossover project Batman / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and subsequently taking the reins of one of DC’s crown jewels, Detective Comics.

In addition to the 2017 GLAAD Media Award-winning series The Woods with Michael Dialynas, James has also penned the critical successes Memetic, Cognetic, and Eugenic with Eryk Donovan, The Backstagers with Rian Sygh, and Ufology with Noah J. Yuenkel and Matthew Fox.

An alumni of Sarah Lawrence College, Tynion now lives and works in New York, NY.
