From critically acclaimed comic book writer Joshua Hale Fialkov (The
Bunker, Echoes, and I, Vampire) and superstar artists Bernard Chang
and Marcelo Maiolo (Green Lantern Corps, Batman Beyond) comes a
postapocalyptic action/adventure comedy.
King just wants what anybody wants: not to get fired, eaten, or forced
to mate with a cheetah lady. For Earth's sole human survivor after the
apocalypse, life among Los Angeles's strange new populace ain't easy.
Working for the LA Department of Reclamation, King gets a lot of crappy
jobs going on quests and searching for artifacts from the "old world,"
which can range from the mythical (Excalibur!) to the absurd (an iPod
shuffle--which, let's be honest, was a terrible, terrible invention).
The commute can be a real pain in the asphalt, too; the 405 freeway is
filled with mutants, monsters, mayhem, and tentacled Elder Gods. And
that's all before you hit the horrors of the San Fernando Valley. As the
world's freakish inhabitants battle for supremacy, King searches for the
"seed of life," which may give Earth the second chance it probably
doesn't even deserve.
