Book Synopsis

"A thrilling debut that mixes quirky sci-fi with stunning visuals." --GonkBonk

Imagine if a master manipulator was able to bend time to his will. . . STANDSTILL is a high-stakes thriller, featuring dark, morally ambiguous characters that begs you to answer the question: If you could stop time, what wouldn't you do?

Meet Ryker Ruel, an enigmatic, lecherous and clinically insane sociopath who is suddenly in possession of a top-secret device that can freeze time!

Now, as the bodies of world leaders pile up, famous works of art go missing, and other strange crimes dominate the headlines, only the device's creator, a run-of-the-mill science geek, knows what's happening and sets out to stop Rykers' seemingly endless revenge tour.

Collects issues #1-8.
