But when a big mistake curses him with the power of the Mantikore, Alex has the weight of two worlds on his shoulders. Alex is sent to a strikingly familiar fantasy world of elves, dwaves and vampires, but one key element is gone. Magic. A stranger in a strange land, and a strange powerful body, Alex must escape from those that would exploit his dark powers. This Issue: After being smuggled from Earth to the strange new world of ABADDON, Alex finds that now is he not only a hulking monster, but also surrounded by bizarre creatures. Alex meets a small blue fairy named Molli, on the run from ogres, trolls, vampires and elves, who have one weird characteristic - they act more like common thugs and criminals than the fantastical creatures we know so well. As if that wasn't a big enough problem, the mysterious ARCHEAN wants him for himself, and has his own army of skilled warriors to catch him. Back home, Alex's girlfriend, Mandy, answers questions for the Chicago PD - Alex was last seen at the museum just minutes before it went up in smoke, and he's a prime suspect.
