Description: Ten years after a deadly infection covers the Earth's terrain, humankind is forced to live in communities precipitously built above the ground. When a group of kids discover there might be a safe haven, they must venture across the wasteland in search of hope as the world hangs by a thread.
As Charon and his forces lick their wounds, our heroes continue their search for a place to call home. But with creatures emerging from the Shroud more deadly than ever before, their very lives might just be hanging by a thread. Superstar writer SCOTT SNYDER (Absolute Batman, Barnstormers) pairs with his son JACK SNYDER alongside rising star artist VALERIA FAVOCCIA (Stranger Things, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) for a post-apocalyptic YA tale for the ages.Review Quotes: Praise for By a Thread
"[A] new post-apocalyptic series with an unusual twist."--IGN "The series is set in a world ravaged by an infection. But rather than your run-of-the-mill zombie plague, this infection rises up from the ground and devours anything it touches. The earth itself is no longer safe to touch."--IGN "By a Thread follows a group of kids as they attempt to survive a world that's been ravaged by infection. However, they aren't facing traditional zombies - this infection has risen from the ground and devours everything it touches. Think 'the floor is lava' but with even deadlier consequences."--Newsarama/Games Radar
