Let the Games Begin! Nature’s Labyrinth Releases Alongside Two Exclusive Variants
Get ready for the battle royale of a lifetime. On a remote island complex full of deathtraps, eight violent contestants will compete for the opportunity to turn their lives around completely. The prize? A sum of cash and complete anonymity. The only rule? Survive.
Featuring a story by industry heavy-hitters Zac Thompson (YONDU, THE BROTHER OF ALL MEN), Bayleigh Underwood (IT TOOK LUKE, THE SIXTH BOROUGH), Warnia Sahadewa, and Rus Wooton, Nature’s Labyrinth follows the elusive agent J. Roe and the seemingly-innocent Nasir as they navigate the labyrinth’s many twists and turns, in the ultimate fight for their lives.
Writer: Zac Thompson – Artist: Bayleigh Underwood – Colors: Warnia Sahadewa – Letters: Rus Wooton
– Cover Artists: Filya Bratukhin & Jason Wordie
Synopsis: In the middle of the ocean lies a remote island complex lined with traps and an ever-changing landscape. Created by a mysterious man known only as “Ahab”, the island was designed to test the wills of the world’s most notorious criminals. In a battle royale style game, eight violent felons will fight for survival and to the death over the course of three days of relentless action. The winner receives a wealth or riches and complete anonymity, but at the cost of keeping their silence about the island’s existence. What Ahab doesn’t know is that someone is on to him. Someone has infiltrated his island with the intention of revealing the truth about this twisted game.
Nature’s Labyrinth is an all-new six issue mini-series from writer Zac Thompson (Yondu, The Brother of All Men, Undone by Blood) and Bayleigh Underwood (It Took Luke, The Sixth Borough).

“Nature’s Labyrinth is the type of comic I’ve always wanted to write. It’s a love letter to films like Battle Royale or Tobe Hooper’s The Funhouse but blended with my affection for nature and my fascination with the dangers of the outside world. Working with Bayleigh is sincerely one of the highlights of my career. Her sense of storytelling and kinetic action on the page is unrivaled. The result is a thrilling action-driven horror comic where nobody is safe!”

“Nature’s Labyrinth is a fantastic comic that has been very fun and challenging to work on. It’s a giant, brutal, endurance test and that’s 100% the kind of stories I love working on. Zac has been fantastic to work with and his writing is really pushing my art to new levels.”
