The Strain #5

Consistently a step ahead of the Centers for Disease Control, elderly pawnbroker Abraham Setrakian seems to have an intimate knowledge of the epidemic rapidly spreading across New York City and the hideous creatures its spawning. How does he know whats happening? Where did he learn about the grotesque monsters roaming the streets at night? And, most importantly, does he know how to stop them?

The scope of the mystery widens as the man who seemingly has all the answers reveals his history in the extermination camps of Nazi-occupied Poland and his first encounter with the beast behind Manhattans invasion.

* Adapting the Strain Trilogy from director Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan!

This is cerebral horror with a dark, beastly side just waiting to pounce. Comic Book Resources
