iCandy #5

In "Childe's Play," Candy and Matt step into the high-stakes world of I.F.X. Games, where Childe reveals a startling truth: video games are gateways to another realm, home to extra-dimensional sentients hungry to conquer our own. As Childe fixates on Candy, believing her to be a rare digital anomaly, the mystery deepens—her connection to the real Candice, the test subject who vanished during a game trial, may be far more than coincidence. Written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, with art by Kalman Andrasofszky and Eric Vedder, and a cover by Scott Iwahashi, this 2004 issue blends sci-fi intrigue with a haunting personal thread.
