The entire terrifying journey of four scientists lost within a giant eldritch corpse is collected in this deluxe hardcover graphic novel volume. It’s a cosmic body-horror epic from acclaimed author Zac Thompson and Eisner-winning artist Hayden Sherman!

Find yourself in its innards.

A group of climate scientists working in a remote base camp on the Australian outback discover an impossible landform. Led by botanist Hildur Johansson, the team sets out to conduct a routine exploratory mission to map the terrain, record their observations, and try to understand this anomalous landscape. But this is no landscape. This is the Unbeing.

The team discovers a sprawling eldritch corpse that threatens to upend everything they understand about the natural world. Propelled by hubris and the intoxicating charm of forbidden knowledge, the research team descends into a hostile alien environment allowed to thrive without human interference. The beautiful yet unforgiving landscape hosts strange flora, gorgeous fauna, and dangerous predators lurking in the darkness. 

Into The Unbeing is a journey centuries in the making, chronicling the many lives who’ve been lost to the seemingly malevolent corpse. As they navigate the sprawling Lovecraftian labyrinth, the climate scientists must form a distrustful and desperate alliance with a mysterious humanoid known only as the Stranger. This incomprehensible Stranger claims to be a nineteenth-century British explorer. It claims to know the way back to the surface. It claims a new world is on its way. Perhaps if you listen closely, you can hear it breathing. But what is the cost of this new world? And who will be left to live in it?

Into the Unbeing is an adventure into the sublime from the critically acclaimed writer Zac Thompson (Cemetery Kids Don't Die, Alien: Romulus) and Eisner-winning artist Hayden Sherman (Batman: Dark Patterns, Absolute Wonder Woman). 

Collects Into the Unbeing Part 1 #1–#4 and Into the Unbeing Part 2 #1–#4.

"Frankly, it’s a good thing this is “Part One” because I’d read 100 issues of this book if I could. Into The Unbeing: Part One is one of the most unique and terrifying horror comics of this century."—AIPT

"One look at Sherman’s cover makes this title a must-read, and after this opening issue, I’ll definitely be coming back for more. There’s so much to this story, and exploring this world and these characters seems like it will be quite the journey."—Fanbase Press

"One of the most striking aspects of Sherman's work is how it conveys emotion. Through the use of lighting, shadows, and the characters' body language, he brings to life the fear and tension that Thompson's script hints at. The panel layouts are dynamic and creative, guiding the reader through the story in a way that feels natural yet disorienting—perfectly fitting for a narrative that thrives on the bizarre and the unknown."—The Geekly Grind

"We have no idea where Into the Unbeing is going, but it's off to such a strong start that we almost don't want to see what the future holds, in case it isn't as effective as the debut issue. Still, even if future chapters don't match the heights of this premiere, it'll still likely be one of the most compelling genre comics of 2024. "—Comicbook.com

"Into the Unbeing is a unique blend of cosmic horror and an all-too close to home climate crisis that takes us on a thrilling and intriguing journey across a post-apocalyptic landscape...The story feels both relevant and otherworldly while teasing a supernatural element. This combination made for fresh take on real-world issue in an excellent and unique way. "—Capes & Tights

"Into the Unbeing #1 delivers a tense experience that blends a sharp script with moody and ominous art."—Pages and Panels

"Overall, Into The Unbeing has me locked in and starving for more. The use of real science with physical anomalies and unnatural environments make everything feel grounded and familiar while also alien and almost supernatural. The characters also feel real, tangible, and relatable. There is something so much bigger brewing underneath all of this and it’s going to be a pleasure to watch the layers being peeled back to reveal it all."—Nerd Initiative

"If you're looking for an adventure comic that'll wow you and tickle your amygdala, give Into the Unbeing Part One a shot. It blends eerie visuals in an absorbing story that just might make you think about our own doomed planet a bit more carefully."—AIPT Comics

"Into the Unbeing is a beautiful comic. It manages to stretch the Moebius-esque starkness of a large open desert with bright colors and unfamiliar (but somehow still eerily family) topologies. The narrative consistency, which passes through a voice over from the captain, to dialogue, and then into a personal journal from the captain, drives home the lost and sometimes forewarning perspective of our guidepost through the story."—Comics Beat

"Right off the bat, Into The Unbeing #1 establishes a sort of cosmic horror element in the same vein as something like Annihilation, with a heavy focus on personal tragedy mixing with a much larger threat...The universe created here is legitimately unnerving without being explicit with its horror, the look is oppressive and evocative."—Major Spoilers

"With a frighteningly relatable setting, compelling characters, and gripping artwork, Into the Unbeing has successfully lured me into the deep, dark cavern of its narrative. Thompson and Sherman have crafted a story that not only entertains but also provokes thought about the dire consequences of our current environmental trajectory."—Geekly Grind
