Cover by Marc Silvestri. by Mike Carey Over the past two years, Virgin Comics has become the hottest new destination for graphic storytelling. At the same time, SciFi has established itself as the brand name for fantasy and speculative television, with hit series like Eureka and Battlestar Galactica. Now, for the first time, these two companies join forces for a new imprint designed to change the face of science fiction entertainment. In The Stranded, the first Virgin/SciFi book, five ordinary people must face a terrifying question: What if your entire world - your childhood, your family, all your memories - was a lie? For The Stranded, it's true; they're all, secretly, from another world. And now a deadly, otherworldly force has returned to try and kill them, operating through a twisted, altered human called Janus. Their only hope: Tamree, a dark, mysterious woman sent to Earth as their protector. One by one, Tamree must awaken the buried memories of The Stranded - along with their powerful, unique psychic and physical abilities. But even if they can defeat Janus, they must also deal with a deadly threat from one of their own. The Stranded is created by acclaimed comics writer and novelist Mike Carey (X-Men, Lucifer, The Devil You Know). The first issue features alternate covers by Marc Silvestri (Witchblade, X-Men) and Greg Horn (Spider-Man, X-Box Magazine, Elektra). With THE STRANDED, Virgin and SciFi take a giant leap into the future. Join us -- the best is yet to come! Cover price $2.99.
