World Enders

World Enders is a brutal, manga-inspired epic that fuses the relentless action of Mad Max: Fury Road with the dark humor and moral weight of Suicide Squad. In the ruins of the eighth apocalypse, four unforgettable anti-heroes take on the ultimate job: euthanizing the last survivors of humanity--and detonating a doomsday bomb to put Earth out of its misery.

The end of the world isn't coming. It's already here. Eight apocalypses have ravaged Earth, and humanity has limped through each one...barely. Now, the monsters of Apoc 8 are closing in, and the only ones left to finish the job are a ragtag crew known as the World Enders: Bethany, Pullman, Toth, and the unhinged S.A.M.--mercenaries who kill for hire in a world already on life support. Their newest mission: trigger a doomsday bomb and finish the job once and for all. But as monsters close in and hope refuses to die, this crew of killers must decide if ending the world is mercy... or madness.
