On the distant world of Illal, corporate rivalry turns to warfare as secret technologies are discovered, coveted, and stolen. Mega-planetary corporate empires, SENTIUM and PROSK, each seek to out-jockey each other in the race for technical superiority in the marketplace, but when the value of that superiority eclipses the cost of human life, no degree of diplomacy can bridge the gap. Now, with the discovery of a revolutionary new geological element, both sides fight tooth and nail for the materials that will keep them one step ahead of the other in an escalating arms race that will ? unbeknownst to all ? lead to the ruin of the planet? In this second of four preview releases, exclusive to comiXology, writer Jeremy Barlow (Mass Effect, Star Wars) and artist Bagus Hutomo (Shrapnel, Heavy Metal) bring you "CAT AND MOUSE", lettered by Deron Bennet (Tale of Sand, The Dark Crystal).
