The action and hilarity continue in the second volumeof this comic convention apocalypse adventure series!
Journalist Victor Lai and his comics publicistfriend Dez Delaney have clawed, crawled, and occasionally golf-carted their wayacross a crowded post-apocalyptic convention floor in search of a way out. Alongthe way they've discovered a fledgling resistance movement of cosplayingsuperheroes led by Dez's former boss, Helvetica Caslon. She's got one lastassignment: find the Special Guest and liberate the con. All that's in the wayis a labyrinth of surreal panel rooms, literal personality cults, at least twowarring fandom factions, and a totally biased gatekeeping system run by pedanticinternet trolls. Can Dez and Victor convince the Special Guest to give up theutopia he's created? Or are the pros of this con on a crash course todoomsday?
