THE STAND VOL. 2: AMERICAN NIGHTMARES TPB
Written by ROBERTO AGUIRRE-SACASA
Penciled by MIKE PERKINS
Cover by MIKE PERKINS
Someone at Project Blue was keeping a secret. A secret they thought they could contain. They thought wrong. Now, with 99 percent of the country’s population dead or dying, the viral strain developed at Project Blue — dubbed “Captain Trips” — has brought about the end of the world. For the survivors — including Nick Andros, Larry Underwood, Frannie Goldsmith and Stu Redman — this ending is a nightmare that’s just begun. And for Randall Flagg, this is an American Nightmare come true, as his macabre vision of the future continues to unfold. Based on the popular apocalyptic novel by celebrated author Stephen King, THE STAND: AMERICAN NIGHTMARES brings together the award-winning writing of Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (HBO’s Big Love) with the gritty visuals of artists Mike Perkins (CAPTAIN AMERICA) and Laura Martin (ASTONISHING X-MEN).

Super-hero school is in session! The world’s No. 1 peacekeeping organization, S.H.I.E.L.D., is fed up with Spider-Man —
specifically, the millions of dollars spent cleaning up his collateral damage. But instead of throwing the teenaged web-slinger in jail, they’ve settled on a far worse punishment: after-school super-hero training, courtesy of the Ultimates! While Spider-Man takes notes from his first tutor — his idol, Iron Man — Mysterio and the Black Cat vie for possession of a mysterious artifact from the archives of the former Kingpin of Crime. Can even Spider-Man and Iron Man, working together, contain the object’s
unimaginable power? Collecting ULTIMATE COMICS SPIDER-MAN (2009) #15 and #150-155.
