Superstar comic book writer and Eisner Award-winner Scott Snyder (Batman, Nocterra, Barnstormers) and his son, Jack Snyder have collaborated on their first-ever graphic novel, a post-apocalyptic adventure for the ages.
In By a Thread, thirteen years ago a deadly and mysterious infection spread across the Earth’s terrain, forcing humankind to live in communities precipitously built above the ground.
Growing up on Needle Three, Jo barely remembers a time before darkness enveloped the world. But when our hero’s community comes under attack by the despotic Charon and his forces, Jo and his friends must decide whether or not to venture across the wasteland in search of a safe haven as the world hangs 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
