Welcome to Altered States... Dynamite Entertainment's parallel reality in the vein of DC's Elseworlds and Marvel's What If! In the summer of 1976, Tori Sachs and her friends went to an innocent beach party to celebrate the end of high school... and wandered into a scene of satanic carnage that would shock the world! Now the truth can be told: Why were the teens targeted for slaughter that night... and what unholy creature did they fall victim to?
