Coal Miners vs. Biblical Creatures! All new tale picking up from where the critically acclaimed CARBON graphic novel left off. What if there really was a Garden of Eden - a place with a history before the first people we know of? A civilization cursed and banished underground for breaking their own commandment to live in balance with the Earth. When an evil coal operator discovers that the "sacred" carbon can burn forever, he will sacrifice the land and the people to extract the full deposit. When he awakens and releases a hell the surface world cannot imagine, the only thing that stands in the way of the ecological disaster, is a disgraced, ex-pro baseball pitcher and a community of courageous coal miners. THIS ISSUE: "The High Road" - The group realizes that they must split up with most heading south to a national evacuation center and Jacob, with a few others, heading onward to the Burning Spring to try and retrieve the mysterious red salt. A new plan to extinguish the spreading cataclysmic fire is to use fracking but the consequences could be even worse than the raging fire. A Caliber Comics release.
