The Ten-Seconders is a comics story which appeared in the British anthology magazine 2000 AD, written by Rob Williams and drawn by Mark Harrison, Dom Reardon, Ben Oliver, Edmund Bagwell, Shaun Thomas and Ben Willsher.
In the near future, human society has been destroyed by the Gods (beings with superpowers closely resembling those of archetypical comic book superheroes) who came to our planet offering help but instead, seeing that we could not look after ourselves, demanded that we accept them as our leaders.
Stubbornly, humanity fought back and were defeated by the Gods and their incredible powers, leaving few survivors.
The surviving humans are now fighting a seemingly fruitless guerilla war against the Gods.
One such group of survivors, The Ten Seconders, have encountered a man known only as The Scientist who promises to help humanity defeat the Gods, but seems mysteriously linked to the God's existence.
