About the series
In this 2010–2011 Marvel miniseries, writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, adapting Stephen King's epic novel, teams with artist Mike Perkins to zero in on the hardened survivors of the superflu pandemic. The five-issue arc follows a fractured group of outlaws and ex-cons as they navigate the post-plague wasteland, caught between the forces of good and the gathering darkness of Las Vegas. A taut, character-driven extension of King's world, Hardcases showcases Perkins' gritty, atmospheric storytelling and deepens the moral complexities of the battle for humanity's future.
