HELL IS REAL. AND THE DEVIL IS COMING. Astrid Mueller is a world-famous horror novelist, a publicly reviled huckster and the all-powerful leader of a secretive cult whose tentacles reach into every sphere of American life. She�s also humanity�s last hope. You see, her organization�s apocalyptic beliefs are neither fraud nor fiction. Ever since she was a child, Astrid has been able to see the extradimensional entities preying on our unsuspecting world, and she�s used every ounce of her fame and fortune to stop them. But what if it�s not enough? When a shocking attack takes the seemingly indestructible Astrid down, it�s up to reporter Chloe Pierce and Mueller�s inner circle to root out the conspirators who are plotting against her and the entire human race. Because behind closed doors�and underneath the skin�unimaginable evil is preparing its ultimate assault, and not even Astrid�s inner sanctum, the Clean Room, can keep them out forever. Acclaimed talents Gail Simone and Jon Davis-Hunt continue their captivating new horror saga with CLEAN ROOM VOL. 2: EXILE, collecting issues #7-12 of this Vertigo series.
