In the post-apocalyptic world of Once Upon a Time at the End of the World, written by New York Times bestselling, Eisner and Harvey Award-winning writer Jason Aaron (Thor, The Avengers, Southern Bastards) with artwork from Alexandre Tefenkgi (The Good Asian) and Nick Dragotta (East of West, Ghost Cage), readers are taken on a thrilling journey through a devastated planet where two unlikely characters, Maceo and Mezzy, must navigate the dangers of a ruined world while discovering an unexpected connection between them.

The first arc of this epic trilogy, Love in the Wasteland, introduces readers to Mezzy and Maceo, two individuals who have never encountered anyone quite like each other. As they face challenges such as plastic tornadoes and frozen sludge in a world scarred by disaster, their differences threaten to tear them apart even as they form an unlikely bond.

The artwork by Alexandre Tefenkgi and Nick Dragotta perfectly captures the bleak yet beautiful landscape of the post-apocalyptic world. From gritty details to sweeping vistas, every panel immerses readers in the harsh realities faced by Mezzy and Maceo as they struggle to survive against all odds. The emotional depth conveyed through the art enhances the impact of their journey, making it easy for readers to empathize with their struggles and triumphs.

In addition to stellar writing and artwork, covers throughout the series by Michael Del Mundo add an extra layer of visual appeal to the series. Each cover is a work of art in its own right, offering tantalizing glimpses into the world within while showcasing striking imagery that draws readers in. The attention to detail in both interior art and cover designs adds depth and richness to the overall reading experience, making Once Upon a Time at the End of the World a must-read comic.
