Out There #7
In "The Road to El Dorado Chapter 1: Left Behind," writer Brian Augustyn and artist Humberto Ramos kick off a gripping journey as Abel drives the school bus to Purgatory, Nevada—a town scarred by a past battle with the demon Draedalus. There, the four friends, Becky, and their unexpected companions, including comic creator Max Ostrow and lapsed Reverend Earl, uncover a haunting truth: Purgatory’s people stayed behind to guard the town’s monstrous former neighbors, now trapped in goblin forms after being possessed. The cover by Humberto Ramos and Sandra Hope captures the eerie tension of their arrival.

With Abel driving the school bus, Becky and the four friends head for Purgatory, Nevada, setting for the comic book Damn Nation, the story of which mirrors their own. They find that the town had tried its own deal with Draedalus and beaten him off, but leaving many of their friends and neighbors in monstrous ("goblin") state, because of being used or possessed by the demons. Purgatory citizens stay in town to mind them, and protect the world from them. But the goblins attack by night, mobbing the four friends, comic creator Max Ostrow, and lapsed Reverend Earl.
