Within the cavernous shell of humankind and the walls of this consumeristic mecca lies a new world order: name-brand gangs and department-store tribes fight over limited space and resources - and the scraps of civilization. After the assassination of a tribal leader, Andre Reed must navigate this mad, murderous haven to prove his innocence, and prevent the end of the world - AGAIN!

For fans of
Escape from New York, Mad Max, The Last of Us, Fight Club,
The Walking Dead,
Warriors, and
The 100! "Powered by a mix of claustrophobia, tribalism, and commentary on consumerist culture, (
Spree) is a genre-defying and entertainingly-tense take on the end of the world" -
Comics Bookcase "... a mall-bound hellscape worth checking out" --
Multiversity Comics "... a post-apocalyptic tale that is fast-paced, mysterious and scattered with intriguing characters. It's a little
Mad Max, a little
Walking Dead, and some of
The Fugitive thrown in for good measure." -
Spartantown "Intense and thrilling, (
Spree) injects you with a surge of adrenaline as you're chased through a post-apocalyptic world that feels lived-in and real." -
