HORIZON depicts the story of when the sky met the ground: long ago, when the rabid apocalypse dawned, the wealthy escaped to a spacecraft orbiting Earth whilst the rest of the world stayed back and either lived, or they died. During their time in space, these wealthy people began to develop a settlement, and they were comfortable for decades. Unfortunately, their supplies grew limited, so they needed to find a way back down to Earth. Meanwhile, survivors of the apocalypse also grew. They created homes from devastated cities. Built villages in the forests to keep themselves safe. All while studying the rabid and how they would prevent the end of the world. Archer finds himself becoming involved in both stories, whilst following his own at the same time. HORIZON: Before Dawn focuses on the precursor to Archer's current situation; before he became Archer, and before the people in the sky crashed to the ground.

Riley Comeau has terrible luck. Lightbulbs shatter in his presence, stoves catch on fire (more so than usual) and microwaves explode. He doesn't have superpowers--at least, that's what everyone tells him. When an old acquaintance unexpectedly invites Riley to join a fraternity with three other guys, he expects a little chaos. What he doesn't expect is to witness a superhero emerging for the first time in Astral City, nor does he expect to have to take matters into his own hands. But life with a secret identity might give him the boost he needs to finish his research for university, while slowly bringing him closer to the one hero who Riley can't seem to resist. * Cover by @newsies- !! *
