He thinks he is being hunted. People are a threat. His journey back to life, and his friends\u2019 dire search against a looming deadline, is as strange and tense as any <i>Concrete<\/i> story ever told.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"da9w7\">\n<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Concrete Sand Over Stars Cover B Final\" class=\"richtext-image left\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/images.darkhorse.com\/wagtail\/production\/images\/3020161.width-500.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"a798f\">\n<\/p><p data-block-key=\"42vhe\">Celebrate the return of <i>Concrete<\/i> in <b><i>Concrete: Stars Over Sand<\/i><\/b><b> #1<\/b> <b>(of 5)<\/b> when it arrives at comic shops on June 17, 2026, for $4.99.
