1st Edition - 1st printing.

By Mark Mars, Eric Singer, and Peter Chung.

Aeon Flux is a lethal, leather-clad spy who cuts a brutal swath of subterfuge through Bregna, a high-tech society controled by her nemesis, Trevor Goodchild. But Aeon and Trevor's bond is deeper than that of assassin to tyrant, and the mystery that drives their twisted relationship has remained impenetrable - until now. This is a story of intrigue and treachery, of domination and submission, of love and hate so perverse, it could only spring from the world of Aeon Flux.
