Previously: As detailed at the conclusion of Infestation: Outbreak, intrepid grey alien Archibald andsome of his less refined kin returned to the base under Groom Lake for housing andmore training. (Don’t take our word for that, —we dare you to pick up the shiny new TPBand see all of that unfold for yourself!)

Currently:The events of Infestation, Infestation: Outbreakand Infestation 2have left the universe amess: barriers that once kept out Lovecraft’s Old Ones have fallen, and tentacledbeasties are currently menacing assorted timelines and the colorful characterscontained within.

Elsewhere:Bat Boy and the other denizens of the Weekly World Newsuniverse have been so farunaffected by the Lovecraftian goings-on. So far. Oh, and Bat Boy only talks in aseries of “skreees” that everyone but normal humans can understand.

Now: All of the above is about to collide.
