Out There #1 (Cliffhanger! / Wildstorm) Brian Augustyn / Humberto Ramos

Almost every citizen of this idyllic town would agree that it's a perfect place to live and raise a family, with its bucolic setting, tight-knit community, and lack of crime. But beneath the surface of this pastoral town lies a deadly secret. At what cost was this paradise made?

Four adventurous high school students are about to find out…A pact has been made between the mayor of El Dorado and the masters of the Draedrealm — an otherdimensional plane. Demon invaders have been taking over the small town, and the citizens are trading their services for a better life. Only outcast Jessie Santiago, bookish Mark Wexler, quarterback Zach Mullins and his girlfriend, the popular, beautiful Casey Phillips seem to realize what's going on — and they are thrust together to uncover El Dorado's secret and save their hometown from its looming fate. But to face the dark forces that threaten everything they hold dear, the four teens first must learn to bridge their own differences.
