About this book

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.
