Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials : Official Graphic Novel Prelude

The world thought it had seen the worst after solar flares struck the planet's surface and millions of people were killed. But disaster stuck again, in the form of disease that quickly ravaged the remaining survivors. Simply knows as 'the Flare,' the disease seemed unstoppable until a cure was discovered. But it came at a cost - a human cost - and now Thomas, Teresa, Newt, Minho, and the rest of the survivors of the Maze Program will soon discover that although they escaped the Maze, they may have entered an experiment even more terrifying than they could have ever imagined. This anthology of five short stories reveals the hidden history of characters from the upcoming film. Explore how the terrifying W.C.K.D. (World in Catastrophe: Killzone Department) organization came to be, and how the very first Maze was designed. Find out what it takes to survive in a post-Flare world, against the violent Cranks that have begun to take over the world. Finally, discover that the Glade may not be the only Maze W.C.K.D. was running. (Back cover).
