1997 has seen a rejuvenated national obsession with aliens and governmental coverups. Dark Horse fuels the fire with a compelling new series, HyperSonic, a four-issue story about alien technology, government conspiracy, and what happens to a military pilot who gets too close to the truth.

The year is 2009, and Wesley Anger is an ace fighter pilot, one of an ever-dwindling group who, pumped up on speed, adrenaline, and sleep deprivation, risk their lives daily in vicious air combat. In such a climate of intensity and stress, it's no wonder that the rumors of pilots being saved by "angels" and visits from the "men in black" are circulating. But are they just rumors? And why are the superior officers so quick to squelch them?

Steve White (The Lords of Misrule) and Dan Abnett (Resurrection Man, The Lords of Misrule) are the accessories behind the fast-paced, fascinating story and Gary Erskine (Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron) does the incredibly detailed and dynamic artwork.

Hypersonic goes on sale November 19, for a retail price of $2.95.
