Jay Baruchel joins Chapterhouse to tell an epic origin story featuring Captain Canuck! "Sur Saray" is a story set during Tom Evans' time serving in the Afghanistan war. Tom has returned to active duty after going AWOL to rescue his brother from Site ALEPH, but his unit, the PCE Squad is folded into an unscrupulous mercenary platoon. Frustrated by the injustices he's witnessing on a daily basis, Tom begins slipping away by night, using his new powers to right the street-level wrongs the military is too unwieldy to effectively address.

The pillars of the mighty Equilibrium begin to tumble and fall in an all-out grudge match between Resurrection and Michael Evans. When the lines of loyalty are blurred, whose side will the likes of Redcoat, Kebec, and even the new Captain Canuck, Darren Oak stand with? When some of Michael's secrets are revealed and the aftershocks of grief from the death of Tom Evans are still rippling through the team, there is no telling which way the mighty Michael Evans may fall. Following the Borealis Invasion, the nations of Earth are taking steps to return life to normal, with the Equilibrium organization leading the way. Michael Evans, leader of Equilibrium and brother of the late Captain Canuck, is developing a revolutionary clean energy technology that promises to rid the world of its energy needs. Darren Oak, the new Captain Canuck, and his mentor, Kebec's suspicions about Michael's motivations are confirmed. Michael's halo has been hacked and now the lines of what Michael or the hacker are responsible for have been blurred. Will Equilibrium shatter under the weight of a hole that Tom Evans has left behind?

In this second and concluding volume of Ho Che Anderson's gritty, futuristic thriller series, Godhead 2 picks up right where part one left off with Racer Calhoun and the rest of Cadre Zeus finally learning why they've been assembled: to destroy Oceanus, the scientific facility traveling through the Pacific housing the God machine. They undertake what they hope will be a routine intelligence gathering mission on Oceanus which quickly turns into a desperate fight for survival through the city from which Racer had fled, and leads to a reunion with Carys, the great love of his life. Finally the cadre are ready to confront Oceanus and put an end to the God machine once and for all. The story's finale upends the usual narrative expectations and concludes with a somber private epiphany that results in the triumph of human reason over a technocratic/supernatural savior.Part Boy's Own adventure genre, part men-on-a-mission yarn, and part thrilling showcase for badass women kicking ass and taking names, Godhead is also the perfect playground through which Anderson can exercise his restless obsessions in this psychological corporate crime drama.

Godhead ricochets from the streets of a working-class African American community to the glimmering halls of corporate America to a mobile scientific laboratory located in the Pacific Ocean. A sprawling contemporary saga with a science-fiction edge, Godhead explores a collision course between science and religion when a corporation creates a device that can talk to God. Is this humanity's salvation or the equivalent of a Doomsday machine? Godhead is Ho Che Anderson's most conceptually and thematically ambitious graphic novel to date, his first in over ten years. Visually, he employs a variety of drawing techniques from tonal images to stark black-and-white to full color painting in order to convey a thriller that ranges from intimate domestic drama to globalist corporate intrigue.
