The Stand: The Night Has Come (2011): Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (adaptation) Mike Perkins Joe Quesada (chief editor) Laura Martin (colors) Tomm Coker (cover) Ralph Macchio (editor) Joe Sabino (letters) Stephen King (story)

The end of the world has happened. 99% of the world's population is dead, killed by the mysterious superflu nicknamed Captain Trips. The remaining one percent has chosen sides. Those drawn to Mother Abagail and her light have founded a community called the Boulder Free Zone in Colorado. Those drawn to Randall Flagg and his darkness have congregated in Las Vegas.

Now, the war between Good and Evil has been fought. The final stand has been taken. And an epic catastrophe has occurred in Las Vegas-- but its fallout has yet to reach all those whose futures still hang in the balance. Their greatest hope rests on two survivors who struggle to make their way home to tell the story, and to reunite with their loved ones, against nearly impossible odds.

Based on the popular apocalyptic novel by celebrated author Stephen King, The Stand brings together critically acclaimed writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Sensational Spider-Man, Angel: Revelations, HBO's Big Love) and the gritty visuals of artist Mike Perkins (Captain America) to tell a tale which begins at the end of the world.
