Description
The action and hilarity continue in the second volume
of this comic convention apocalypse adventure series!
Journalist Victor Lai and his comics publicist
friend Dez Delaney have clawed, crawled, and occasionally golf-carted their way
across a crowded post-apocalyptic convention floor in search of a way out. Along
the way they've discovered a fledgling resistance movement of cosplaying
superheroes led by Dez's former boss, Helvetica Caslon. She's got one last
assignment: find the Special Guest and liberate the con. All that's in the way
is a labyrinth of surreal panel rooms, literal personality cults, at least two
warring fandom factions, and a totally biased gatekeeping system run by pedantic
internet trolls. Can Dez and Victor convince the Special Guest to give up the
utopia he's created? Or are the pros of this con on a crash course to
doomsday?
