Description

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.

Author Biography:

Joshua Hale Fialkov is a creator of graphic novels, including Elk’s Run, The Bunker, The Life After, Punks, Tumor, and Echoes. He also served as a writer on the Emmy Award–nominated animated film Afro Samurai: Resurrection. He has written comics for companies including Marvel, DC, Legendary, WildStorm, IDW, Dark Horse, Image, Tor Books, Seven Seas Entertainment, Del Rey, Random House, Dabel Brothers Productions, and St. Martin’s Press. He also wrote a Syfy Channel movie starring Isabella Rossellini and Judd Nelson. Unfortunately, at no point in the film does Judd Nelson punch the sky and freeze-frame. Joshua grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; went to college in Boston, where he got a BFA in writing and directing; and then worked in the New England film industry until finally deciding to move to Los Angeles to do it properly. He lives with his wife, author Christina Rice; their daughter; their dogs, Cole and Olaf (Twelve Monkeys and Frozen, respectively); and a very unimpressed cat.
