LANCER #1 (OF 4) CVR B JAKE BAKER VAR (Release Date: 08/12/2026)

Critically-acclaimed screenwriter and master storyteller Mike Costa (LUCIFER) joins forces with rising superstar artist Jake Baker and Eisner Award-winning colorist Lee Loughridge (SOMNA) for a pulse-pounding, new sci-fi action-horror blockbuster. Pete Sanborn is a broke former Marine picking up extermination gigs through LANCER – a freelance app connecting veterans with military-grade kill work. Wild hogs. Invasive predators. Things too big, too dangerous for the average person to deal with. Until a routine Texas hog mitigation job goes catastrophically wrong, leaving Sanborn the lone survivor of a grisly massacre. Now Sanborn’s been recruited into an elite crew with bigger guns, better pay, and a new assignment waiting beneath New York City: Descend into the sewers. Kill the horde of mutant alligators. Try to make it out alive.
