Writer: Mark London – Artist: Karl Mostert
Colorist: David Barone – Letterer: Dave Sharpe
Synopsis: In Exit City, there’s a thin line between good and evil, and Detectives McCormick and Miller are about to find out the hard way. When they come to the scene of a brutal accident, it becomes clear that the Major Crimes division was called in for a reason. With minimal evidence, McCormick and Miller must work together through a web of seedy criminals, genetic experiments, and a crooked government. But that’s not the only thing standing in their way, McCormick is hiding a secret that would make anyone question his capabilities.
Exit City is the third thrilling title in Underworld, an all-new universe created by Mark London which also includes Revolution 9 (launching in September) and Hour of the Wolf (launching in October). Each miniseries set within can be savored as a standalone serial, while serving as a stepping stone towards ENDLESS NIGHT, the must-read crossover guaranteed to blow your mind in 2025!
To celebrate the release of Exit City #1, we’ve concocted not one, but TWO Mad Cave Exclusive variant covers by Dean Haspiel, Raymund Bermudez, and Sebastian Cheng! Limited to a few copies printed, be sure to grab yours while you can!

“Writing “Exit City” was such a wild ride because it allowed me to explore the intricate complexities of human nature and morality. Delving into the lives of Detectives McCormick and Miller, I was able to create characters that are deeply flawed yet relatable, each grappling with their own secrets and inner demons. The setting of a gritty, crime-ridden city provided a rich backdrop for tension and conflict, enabling me to weave together a narrative filled with unexpected twists and turns. It was thrilling to craft a plot that kept readers on the edge of their seats while also challenging them to ponder the gray areas between good and evil. Themes of betrayal and loyalty are also on display and they resonated with me on a personal level, allowing for a deeper exploration of trust and the choices we make under pressure. Writing about McCormick’s hidden secret added an extra layer of complexity, making the story not just a crime thriller, but also a psychological journey. Ultimately, “Exit City” was a labor of love that combined my passion for storytelling with my fascination for the darker sides of humanity, making it an incredibly rewarding experience. I truly hope readers find as much enjoyment in unraveling the mysteries within its pages as I did in writing them.” – Writer, Mark London
