But they're not really there to shoot a film. One of them has lied. And that lie will change EVERYTHING. Collects The Cull #1-#5 Early praise for The Cull: "A breathtaking work of beauty, tension, emotion, and mystery. This is the kind of story that stays with you for years to come." —Matthew Rosenberg, What's the Furthest Place from Here? “The Cull builds a world of characters in small, intricate details that invite the reader to dive deeper, and then—in one quick motion, like magic—opens the whole puzzle box out to infinite size. Intriguing story, spectacular art, and most importantly giant crabs—I recommend getting in on the ground floor.” —Al Ewing, We Only Find Them When They're Dead, Immortal Hulk "I thought I was in front of the TV...the outstanding art by Mattia De Iulis let the reader have a full immersive experience, while the script by Kelly Thompson introduce you to a new and extraordinary journey. If you read it and you hear sounds from pages, don't worry, it's just the magic of this book." —Elena Casagrande, Black Widow, Catwoman “Astonishing. Gritty and lyrical at the same time. I’m going to keep it simple. Quite possibly the best first issue you’ll read this year.” —Gail Simone, Clean Room, Batgirl “Simultaneously new and familiar, modern and traditional—The Cull hits that tonal sweet spot that promises a hit series. And considering the talent on board, I’m not at all surprised. Add this one to the pull!” —Kelly Sue DeConnick, Bitch Planet, Wonder Woman Historia “With The Cull, Kelly Thompson and Mattia De Iulis have crafted an absolutely gripping tale. Thompson is the master of writing characters you instantly care about, and every character who sets out on this journey clearly has a personal story that I can't wait to see revealed. I have no idea what the hell is going on with the shocking revelations of Black Water Beach, but I can't wait to find out." —Tom Taylor, Neverlanders, Nightwing “The Cull is Kelly, Mattia, and their entire team at the top of their game. It’s everything you could want out of the first issue of a comic—it gets its beautiful hooks in deep. I’m dying for the next chapter.” —Gerry Duggan, X-Men, Dark Room “You won’t believe you’re reading a comic book as this live-action movie leaps to life on the page. If there’s one book out there right now to totally immerse yourself in, it’s The Cull.” —Chris Refferty, Lucifer, Cobra Kai

Cull: Epitomes offers its reader, in a single volume, the essence of seventy-seven core philosophical and religious works. Each presents a thinker without knowledge of which one can scarcely begin to mull ethical and political questions. These vignettes span religious thought from pious wondering in the Indus valley to Buber's slippery mysticism. They measure politics from the olive groves of Athens to Harvard's intellectual ferment. These epitomes examine morality from the sacral smokes of the Sinai desert to E. O. Wilson's eusocial ants. These little works capture the texture, if not the entire fabric, of some of history's finest minds, and some painfully coarse ones as well. If time were abundant, you might read the originals yourself. Time, for most of us, is anything but abundant.

How does one make good decisions? What shape of life emerges from choosing well? In this careful book, Brad Lancaster gathers ideas about human meaning to frame "kithdom," a political theory that encourages meaningful life together in interwoven circles of friends. Cull offers insight about peace, humility, friendship, family, and consensus. Lancaster helps one get clear about depopulation, shared meaning, and pot holes in human thinking. Cull suggests simple rules for living that satisfy our hunger for deliberated togetherness. Cull asks all to dwell on unborn generations and the legacy we are fashioning. Cull encourages a communications Commons, freely available to all, which contains the sum of human knowledge and skills. Ultimately, the author asks us to keep experimenting with forms of life until we find ourselves, with our friends, flourishing in meaningful shared existence. Co-housing groups, ecovillages, kibbutzim, intentional communities, urban non-residential fellowships, and communes of every sensibility will find in Lancaster's book thoughtful help for living in deliberated togetherness. For those of us mired in the urban crush, Cull is a godsend of blunt analysis.
