The Massive

Ninth Wave

2016

In the pages of The Massive, the Ninth Wave was struggling to repair a broken world. But before that, they were the preeminent global environmental-rescue unit, taking on criminals, polluters, politicians, and rogue states. The Massive: Ninth Wave tells these stories in a stylish, high-action, done-in-one format, reuniting the entire creative team from the original series. Critically acclaimed writer Brian Wood and artist Garry Brown go back to the beginning with the Ninth Wave environmental action unit, sharing stories from the front lines of the eco-war. Praise for previous volumes of The Massive: "Brian Wood's The Massive proves that there's room for political comics." \-Complex "In a period where Wood's name seems to pop up all over the industry, this series has emerged as one of his most ambitious and rewarding so far." \-IGN "The Massive is clearly one of the best books of 2012 due to its exquisite ability to meld high concept ideas with real characters as Brian Wood continues to make comics smart." \-Comic Book Resources
