The Complete Future Shocks #2

In the year 2250, Roschach Skubbs finds himself in a rather sticky situation—literally. After accidentally killing his wife on the Sun’s surface, he’s scrambling to hide the body while dodging solar patrols and the increasingly awkward reality of being a man with a corpse and no alibi.

Wilbur Meek has always been curious about his roots—now, thanks to Amalgamated Ancestors, he’s about to find out just how famous his lineage really is. With a billion megabucks on the line if they can’t deliver, the company’s promise feels too good to be true.

In a brutal arena where combat is the only law, Kain fights through endless duels, driven by instinct and fury. When the truth emerges—his body is an android, and the arena is nothing more than a child’s toy—the line between war and play dissolves into something far stranger.

In "The Man From 2000," four warriors—Bylor, Lantus, King Grandvelt, and Trooper 34839/Ax—are plucked from Earth’s past and forced into a brutal arena match by alien gamblers. Though pitted against one another, they soon realize their only chance to survive lies in unity, not combat.
