They say no one ever dies in Stillwater and that no one gets to leave...but even for the ones who have freed themselves of the town, is there truly any escaping Stillwater?

Ethan Young, Jason Loo, Andrew Wheeler and Soo Lee all collaborate on The Escape.
“Working on Stillwater has been a dream come true,” said Zdarsky. “But with an entire town of possible stories, it felt selfish keeping them all to ourselves, so Ramón and I are super excited to have these extremely talented creators exploring some of the eternal citizens of Stillwater!”
