    Don't miss this exciting new ASTRO CITY Special that reveals the long-awaited story of Samaritan's greatest enemy: Infidel! In this special bridging the gap between chapters of the epic DARK AGE saga, witness centuries of conflict, featuring weird science, manipulation of time on a vast scale, the Black Plague, Pompeii and more, all in the space of one night, and one fateful dinner. It's Samaritan's first solo special; and the story of one brilliant, tormented man whose will is strong enough to shatter the world. Over and over again, if necessary.
