INFESTATION 2
The balance of magic has been tipped, and cosmic prisons are no longer capable of containing the ELDER GODS. H.P. Lovecraft's nightmares-made-real are attacking all known universes, causing untold destruction. Between these colossal terrors and total destruction stand unsuspecting combatants—team C.V.O. (Covert Vampiric Operations), the blood-sucking vampires of 30 Days of Night, and the unlikely duo of Bat Boy and Archibald, former Groom Lake inhabitant.
