The end of the world has happened. 99% of the world's population is dead, killed by the mysterious superflu nicknamed Captain Trips. The remaining one percent has chosen sides. Those drawn to Mother Abagail and her light have founded a community called the Boulder Free Zone in Colorado. Those drawn to Randall Flagg and his darkness have congregated in Las Vegas. Peaceful co-existence between the two factions was not possible, however, and the long prophesized war between the forces of good and the forces of evil has finally erupted -- with the first victory going to the Dark Man and his minion.

But even though Mother Abagail is dead, her followers are not without hope, and they have taken steps to protect themselves. There are spies in Nevada, and four pilgrims --handpicked by Mother-- have left behind their loved ones, their families and friends, and are moving west, to take one final stand.

The night has come, true believers, and it is a long time till morning...

Based on the popular apocaliptic novel by celebrated author Stephen King, The Stand brings together critically acclaimed writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Sensational Spider-Man, Angel: Revelations, HBO's Big Love) and the gritty visuals of artist Mike Perkins (Captain America) to tell a tale which begins at the end of the world.
