Previously: As detailed at the conclusion of Infestation: Outbreak , intrepid grey alien Archibald and some of his less refined kin returned to the base under Groom Lake for housing and more training. (Don’t take our word for that, w — e dare you to pick up the shiny new TPB and see all of that unfold for yourself!) Currently: The events of Infestation , Infestation: Outbreak and Infestation have 2 left the universe a mess: barriers that once kept out Lovecraft’s Old Ones have fallen, and tentacled beasties are currently menacing assorted timelines and the colorful characters contained within. Elsewhere: Bat Boy and the other denizens of the Weekly World News universe have been so far unaffected by the Lovecraftian goings-on. So far. Oh, and Bat Boy only talks in a series of “skreees” that everyone but normal humans can understand. Now: All of the above is about to collide.
