Throwaways Volume 1 (Throwaways, 1) - Softcover

LIBRARY JOURNAL (STARRED) -- Former army ranger Abby Palmer is helping Dean Logan, the son of a survivalist struggling to find his way in life, stay alive after a violent incident at a veterans' support group. When a cadre of armed men in black attempt to capture Dean, Abby shows up just in time, thanks to a message from an unknown source, and saves him. Apparently, Dean has a unique skill that allows him to move objects with his mind. The adventures continue as Abby begins to remember a place called Camp Cheshire, where she was held and tortured under the supervision of a Dr. Elizabeth Ostrander. Meanwhile, a new character that might be helping or hurting Abby's cause to recall her past arrives to complicate their lives. This story by Kittredge (Coffin Hill) marks the origins of an intriguing set of characters, the throwaways, who need to work together as they get to know one another. The illustrations by Sanders (Wolverine) are beautifully drawn and convey the action scenes in memorable panels. This volume collects Issues 1-4 of the series.

Abby Palmer and Dean Logan are two broken people with one thing in common: they're both victims of a brutal government mind control experiment--and they're the only two who escaped alive. Abby is a homeless drifter, and Dean is trying to outrun the horrors of his past when the program finds them again...and they become the other's only chance to survive. The program gifted them both with abilities beyond a normal human's imagination--and as Dean and Abby realize what was done to them, they're determined to use those abilities to destroy the program and its sinister architect, Dr. Elizabeth Ostrander, once and for all.

A brand new science fiction spy thriller by the creative team of CAITLIN KITTREDGE and STEVEN SANDERS.
