A sci-fi thriller about a next-gen form of psychiatry: ‘subliminal hitmen’ injected into your mind who hunt down the demons that haunt you. Ex-military sharpshooter Colin McClure is Mezign Corp’s most recent recruit for the still-experimental (and often deadly) job of subliminal hitman. McClure is the perfect candidate for two reasons: a- he’s a killing machine, and b- he lost his legs in the war, so subliminal-ops are his only way to see any action. But he’s also a dangerous candidate for one reason unknown to Mezign: Colin’s true motive is to enter the mind of his catatonic daughter and bring her out of a coma. From writer Tony Patrick (Batman And The Signal) and artist Ayhan Hayrula. Collects issues 1-5.
"If you like smart, high-octane sci-fi, you'll love X'ed. Patrick and Hayrula create a thrilling world, where hitmen injected into your mind hunt down your inner demons - A book with as many twists and turns as there are in the labyrinth of the human brain. A huge achievement!" -Scott Snyder (Batman, Wytches)
