Amid Iceland's dramatic volcanic landscapes, forensic scientist Askja Thorasdottir is investigating a mystery involving the skeleton of a Neanderthal who appears to have been killed by a Cold War-era Soviet bullet. Before long, someone's trying to tell Askja something - and someone else is trying to kill her. Originally published as a three-issue limited series by Image Comics in 2007 - and nominated for two Harvey Awards - this new incarnation of Umbra includes all the original issues as well as a ''director's cut'' of the ending: the brand-new, never-before-seen conclusion intended by the creators.
