Last Comics On Earth– Viking Books for Young Readers releases a spin-off based on the series Last Kids on Earth. At their local comic book store, Jack, Quint, June, and Dirk have made a starting discovery: They’ve read every last issue of their favorite comic, Z-man, and no new issues are coming…ever!
