Scream #8

In this grim tale from Alan Hewetson and Cesar, Anton Dubchek—a brutal Russian-Siberian prison camp commander—recounts his reign of cruelty and control to a gathering of damned souls at Nosferatu's castle. As Dubchek describes his iron-fisted rule over the wretched inmates and his ruthless methods of maintaining order, the prisoners who suffered under his command finally see their chance for reckoning. What unfolds is a haunting portrait of power corrupted and justice twisted into something far darker than the crimes it claims to punish.

A professional hunter named Jagen accepts a lucrative assignment to eliminate a target using a specially modified weapon, then must evade those who hired him when a double-cross leaves him the last man standing. Twenty years later, living in exile on a primitive world, Jagen discovers he's being hunted by an unstoppable mechanical pursuer determined to bring him to an unknown fate. As the hunter becomes the hunted, he realizes the true cost of his past may be far worse than death.
