When a mysterious one-eyed cat brings them together, they bond over their love of the junkyard cats and the TV show Magic Cat.

The duo explore the realms of imagination, finding both friends and foes. They take on a clockwork army assembled under the command of a frightening force known only as the Singular, and after finding themselves in a time and place not their own, face mysteries with old friends. The imaginative pair must put their heads together to stop the world from falling into darkness. This trade paperback collects all ten issues from the runs of Figment and Figment 2.
