RENAE GEERLINGS IDW Edits by Blake, Hooper, and Shane -- highly trained Delta Force operators -- embark on a high-stakes mission to obtain a mysterious serum. But when they are betrayed by their own commanding officer (Fisher), and murdered by a former Israeli Defense Force operative (Ayala Tal), it appears their story is over. Enter Dr. Diana Nash and the skeptical Colonel Razinski. Using the very science that the “Dead Squad” initially helped steal, the pair reanimate Blake -- looking for answers and a means to get their life-giving biologic back.
