IN âUNIT 44â, THE FATE OF THE EARTH RESTS IN THE HANDS OFÂ COMPLETE IDIOTS. Â SO ITâS BASICALLY A DOCUMENTARY.
Two bumbling Area 51 employees fail to pay the rent on the facilityâs off-site storage unit and the secret contents end up falling into the wrong hands. With the fate of the Earth now resting in the hands of the Dimwitted Duo, an alien invasion threatens to wipe out the planet if they canât retrieve UNIT 44 in time.
Written and lettered by Wes Locher (Hipsters vs. Rednecks, The Undoubtables, Maintenance, The Temporal) and with art and colors by Ed! JimÊnez (Backfired, Secrets and Shadows) UNIT 44 volume one will collect the full 88-page series, pin-ups, essays, and include a never-before-seen backup comic.
âWeâre so excited to bring UNIT 44 to print,â Locher said. âWe exposed ourselves to a digital audience and now weâre looking forward to exposing ourselves to comic shop customers across the world. Wait a sec⌠I think that came out wrong.â

The seriesâ cast features two bumbling Area 51 employees, a pair of unwitting rednecks who purchase a locker full of government secrets, and an army of moody aliens who act more like jealous ex-girlfriends than the little green men of sci-fi lore, sending them on a collision course as the agents race against time to save mankind.
Fans of comics like IDWâs hilarious D4VE, Image Comicsâ ridiculous serial God Hates Astronauts and BOOM! Studiosâ wacky Adventure Time will feel right at home with Unit 44âs brand of fast-paced, laugh-a-minute, over-the-top sci-fi/comedy.
