The Nice House by the Sea was first seen in The Nice House By the Sea #1 by James Tynion IV and Alvaro Martinez Bueno

Origin

The Earth is being destroyed by a group of beings of indeterminate origin (when asked, one member said Earthlings have no name for what they are). These beings have not concluded their studies on humanity, so many of them have been assigned to creating doomsday safe houses as “balanced human ecosystems.” These ecosystems are to be made up of 10 types of humans:

• An Artist
• A Writer
• An Actor
• A Historian
• A Musician
• A Mathematician
• A Doctor
• A Scientist
• A Politician
• A Person of Faith
