Lastman Book 5

Perfect for readers of INVINCIBLE and ULTRAMEGA, the hit French fight-comic LASTMAN continues here!

TROUBLE COMES TO THE REALMS!

After an explosion rocks the home base of the insurgent gang, The Red Eagles, not everyone from the Valley is making it back alive. Adrian, Richard, and their friends’ involvement with the troublesome gang leads to their arrest in Paxtown, where Richard once again must ask his ex-flame Tomie Katana - now the mayor - for help. Meanwhile, in the Valley, a mysterious guest from the depths of the Rift has arrived, and his secret motives and interest in Adrian may bring about the very ruin of the realm.

Featuring lush, manga-style worldbuilding and heart-pounding action sequences, Lastman is the perfect upper YA/teen graphic novel series for fans of Shonen Jump manga and beloved comics like the Eisner Award winning Do A Powerbomb by Daniel Warren Johnson, the epic, bestselling superhero series Invincible by Robert Kirkman and Ryan Ottley, and the battle-infused Firepower by Robert Kirkman and Chris Samnee.

Originally a hit comic book series published in French, this winner of the 42nd Annual Angoulême International Comics Festival Prize for Series is a character-driven, fast-paced adventure that readers won’t want to miss.
