This is a preview issue put out by Marvel to promote the forthcoming titles in their Razorline imprint of books- a line known as the Barkerverse, because they were all titles made in conjunction with horror novelist Clive Barker.

With a short-breathed word of warning, we invite you to open the first Book of the Damned, testament to the terror and majesty of Leviathan.

Resurrected from the dead! He is the Messiah of Science who has returned to save our world from the monsters currently running it! Created by Geoff Darrow and Steve Skroce.
