The future has not been saved. A bomb tore a chunk out of San Francisco. Daniel began his job at Aspire, following in his father’s footsteps. Will the apocalypse keep happening? Or will something trigger a change in the future? A future where Grady Potts wields his power as president to his advantage. Where Daniel has locked himself away, desperately seeking a cure for the virus. Where Heidi and Billy are criminals. Where Natasha is forced to help Grady find a way to travel into the past… …but for what purpose? To help change the future? Or to preserve it?

As Grady Potts'' political star rises, Daniel finally realizes what he must do to ensure he doesn''t poison the world''s population, and it isn''t pretty. Natasha is on hand—actually, both Natashas are—but the consequences of his actions may change the future for the worse. Heidi is still imprisoned, but just like Billy, she''s got an advocate on the outside. In this explosive final volume of the critically-acclaimed series, the fate of the world will be decided.

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.

Each of the friends must decide their fates, as they''re faced with the first day of the rest of their lives. By the end, lines are drawn between the Believers and the Skeptics, while another shadowy figure from the future is watching them to make sure they all decide ''correctly.''

Eric Reid: a wounded veteran on the ropes, looking for a new lease on life. But the new Skyman is nobody''s stooge. They tried to make the perfect weapon, but they got a hero instead.

The end of the world is in motion. Alliances have broken and reformed. And the motives of those who have come from the future remain unclear. Still, all the five friends can do is continue on. While Grady pursues his future in politics, Billy''s stuck in jail, his future—again—uncertain. But when the older Grady drags Heidi into the fray, Billy decides to fight back. This trade also includes the standalone issue drawn by Brahm Revel (Venture Bros Storyboard Artist, Marvel Knights: X-Men) and colored by Jason Fischer.

Featuring more than 100 pages of never-before-seen material! The Harvey Award—nominated sensation that rocked the comics world–and left readers hanging in sheer suspense–is now a full-length graphic novel that finally carries the stunning Elk’s Run saga to its shocking conclusion. The town of Elk’s Ridge, West Virginia, was built on a dream: The dream of war-scarred Vietnam veterans to live in peace and harmony, in a place untouched by violence, crime, corruption, or greed. A living Norman Rockwell painting, governed by the most basic values and free of all things considered undesirable by its founders. It was supposed to be paradise. And for a while, it was. Over the years, some in Elk’s Ridge have grown restless. They fear their refuge has become a prison . . . or a tomb. And they yearn to do the forbidden: escape. But when one desperate bid for freedom ends in a tragic accident, a heinous act of mob justice suddenly tears the idyllic mask from this promised land and the evil its residents sought to keep out blooms from within. Now, as a deadly chain reaction of events threatens the future of Elk’s Ridge, its elders gird for battle against the real world. And a group of terrified teens prepare to make their own stand–against the people they once trusted and the only life they’ve ever known. Because there’s nothing left to do but fight or die. A chillingly lyrical tale, rendered in starkly beautiful, visceral artwork, Elk’s Run is an unforgettable and unrelentingly powerful graphic novel event not to be missed.
