Methuselah, Meth for short, is a pig who accidentally gained immortality--and a whole lot more--back at the beginning of time, and he's been trying to figure out what to do with his special abilities ever since. All that is about to change as he teams up with two human allies, a young Iraqi orphan and an intrepid but inept American archaeologist. Little do the three of them realize they are about to become embroiled in a cosmic battle far bigger and far darker than they ever could have imagined. This issue takes them from the high seas to deep underground.
