Issue #1: A Meme is an idea that starts with an individual and then spreads throughout multiple persons and potentially entire societies. Richard Dawkins suggests a meme’s success comes from its effectiveness to the host. But history shows that destructive memes can spread just as rapidly through society. MEMETIC shows the progression of a weaponized meme that leads to the utter annihilation of the human race within 72 hours. The root of this apocalypse is a single image on the internet, a ‘meme’ in the popular sense. A meme that changes everything. 

Issue #2: In Day Two of this crisis, Aaron tries to escape his college campus overrun with Screamers, while Marcus and his Pentagon team attempt to track down the source of the meme and eliminate it before time runs out. 44 pages, full color

Issue #3: Day Three is finally upon us. As Marcus’s dwindling team makes its final last-ditch assault on the compound of the supposed creator of the meme, Aaron comes to grips with his shocking loss and the impending apocalypse. 44 pages, full color.
