DNA, and the CAPULETS, genetically enhanced humans known for their
speed and agility, worked in tandem to destroy all threats to the city. With no
one left to fight, the Montagues and Capulets found themselves a new enemy:
each other.
Stan Lee commented, “This is the graphic novel I’ve always dreamed of doing.
Take one of the world’s greatest stories, known and loved throughout the globe,
place it against the background of a future age, a more violent, science-gonemad
age–embellish it with the most powerful, dazzling, illustrations ever seen
and produce it in the largest, most impressive format of all.
