Created by Warren Ellis (The Authority, Transmetropolitan), Global Frequency: The Deluxe Edition collects the entire twelve-issue series in hardcover!

Global Frequency is a worldwide rescue organization created to deal with any crisis too big, too strange or too dangerous to handle by more...conventional means. Founded and funded by the enigmatic Miranda Zero, this mysterious agency is made up of 1,001 agents, all experts in fields as diverse as bioweapons engineering and parkour running. Each member is equipped with a special mobile phone that keeps them in constant communication with Mirando Zero's cunning right-hand woman Aleph, the nexus of the worldwide operation.

From a middle-aged linguist to a 16-year-old computer geek to a retired detective to an ace test pilot, Global Frequency agents are the best at what they do, and they are humanity's last, best chance for survival.

Collects Global Frequency #1-12.
