Description
Across a desert landscape, a cloaked rider emerges from the shimmering heat. A lone figure on a battered mount, he's a tempting target for bandits - and temptation is not something that the inhabitants of these badlands are inclined to resist.
Unfortunately for the miscreants who decide to waylay him, that choice will likely be the last one they ever make. And when the dusty traveler walks into the local saloon, it soon becomes clear that anyone who stands between him and his mission will share the same fate.
But who is this mysterious stranger - and what is the target that he has fixed his glowing red eye upon?
Featuring otherworldly covers from DECLAN SHALVEY, LUCIO PARRILLO, MEGHAN HETRICK, and JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, this historic 40-page special from renowned writer ED BRISSON (Batman Incorporated, Uncanny X-Men) and acclaimed artist RAPHA LOBOSCO (James Bond: 007) answers the most burning question on all of Third Earth - who is Apex? - and sets the stage for the dramatic new story arc launching in ThunderCats #11!
