(W) John Ridley (A) Stefano Raffaele Thirty-seven years ago, Earth was secretly invaded by an alien force known as the Devolution, and they've been shaping the direction of humanity ever since. Why? To prepare us to be assimilated into their empire? The Devolution has 13 ministries, each responsible for manipulating a different aspect of human life. The Ministry of Compliance, the most feared of all the ministries, led by the fierce Avigail Senna, keeps every ministry in line and focused on the empire's mission. Just as their mission is on the verge of success and Earth is about to be assimilated, the empire suffers a horrific blow. For the survival of her people and herself, Avigail must rally the ministries together. A feat made near impossible as tensions and conspiracies run rampant.
