From the minds of games legend Cliff Bleszinski (Fortnite, Gears of War) and bestselling writer Alex de Campi (DRACULA, MOTHERF**KER!, PARASOCIAL) comes an action-packed story meant for anyone who's ever wanted to pet the dog in a video game (Mom: don't worry, none of the animals die).

Scrapper is a good dog, adopted by good people. Sure, he spends his nights patrolling his post-apocalyptic metropolis with his buddy Tank, protecting its citizens from the city's totalitarian overlords, but everyone needs a hobby, right? When a catastrophe sends Scrapper's world spiraling out of control, he will need to rally the city's critters -- strays and undesirables -- to save both themselves and the humans all around them.

Collects Scrapper #1-#6.
