Salt

All new tale picking up from where the critically acclaimed CARBON graphic novel left off. What if there really was a Garden of Eden - a place with a history before the first people we know of? A civilization cursed and banished underground for breaking their own commandment to live in balance with the Earth. When an evil coal operator discovers that the "sacred" carbon can burn forever, he will sacrifice the land and the people to extract the full deposit. When he awakens and releases a hell the surface world cannot imagine, the only thing that stands in the way of the ecological disaster, is a disgraced, ex-pro baseball pitcher and a community of courageous coal miners.

THIS ISSUE: "Batter UP!" - At the Burning Spring, Jacob begins the salt making process. The militant group steal the two remaining pieces of sacred coal for their new leaders. As the massive fracking operation nears go-stage Dr. Sherman hatches a diabolical scheme to fuse a Sheve with the disgruntled militia leader which could result in a creature more powerful and evil than the world has ever seen.
