JUMP ON BOARD HERE! THE VINE IMPERATIVE – PART 1! Toyo Harada's war to save humanity by taking over the world roars on against the only enemy this planet cannot contain...a sinister network of undercover alien spies! A deadly chess game between Harada and the alien visitors called the Vine has been unfolding for decades. The Vine once even created the living weapon called LV-99 to assassinate their enemy, but failed. Today, as Harada executes his agenda upon Earth—and with LV-99 on his side this time—the Vine's cold war finally turns infernally hot. Jump on board the series that Bloody Disgusting calls "the height of sophisticated comic book stories" here with a powerful new story arc from New York Times best-selling writer Joshua Dysart (HARBINGER WARS) and red-hot artist CAFU (UNITY)!
