Stephen King's The Stand: American Nightmares

Only a few survivors have managed to escape the apocalyptic wave of death known as Captain Trips. Now, the highly anticipated second arc of their brutal struggle for survival, continuing Marvel's adaption of Stephen King's seminal novel, begins in The Stand: American Nightmares #1 (of 5)! The superstar creative team of Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Mike Perkins and Laura Martin, who brought you one of the most critically acclaimed series of last year, The Stand: Captain Trips, reunites to deliver a shocking tale of despair and destruction unlike any other before!

The few, brave survivors must adapt to a reality they never thought possible. This new chapter of the beloved Stephen King novel begins with a cover by Mike Perkins, a stylish variant cover by the red-hot Lee Bermejo, a Lincoln Tunnel variant by superstar David Finch, and a can't-miss sketch variant cover by Perkins!
