The first volume of an original graphic novel series from New York Times - bestselling author Scott Westerfeld.

"A little dark, a little twisted, and completely enthralling." --Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles and Heartless"Amazing." --io9"Expect some stunning sci-fi spectacle when Addison ventures into the Spill Zone." --A.V. Club"This unnerving, gripping title--Westerfeld's first original graphic novel--is bound to entice older comics fans, especially those interested in darker sci-fi and nuanced characterization." --School Library Journal, starred review"Westerfeld handles the spooky business of the infected town magnificently, spiking the eerie and inexplicable with moments of genuine horror, while always keeping the emotional tensions of his highly accessible teenage protagonist at the center." --Booklist, starred review"Full-color illustrations are appropriately wild, jagged, and threatening. Readers will be demanding the next installment as they close this one." --Kirkus"It's clear from the movie-ready visual images that the illustrator is primarily an anima- tor, and the panels are a worthy match for the clever, memorable text."--BCCB
