The third installment of the New York Times bestelling graphic novel series based on the worldwide phenomenon The Last Kids on Earth!

After one-upping themselves with a triumphant follow-up to their bestselling comic book, the Last Kids on Earth are met with unexpected competition: Skaelka has written her own comic and it’s selling like hotcakes! Determined to reclaim their #1 spot, our heroes get to work to create the ultimate threequel . . .

When a vicious monster attacks Apocalyptia, a group of adorably fluffy and delightfully stinkin’ cute mascot-shaped heroes arrive on the scene to help: the Laser Blade Hero Squad! Forming an alliance with our heroes, they agree to look after Apocalyptia while the Savage Aloner is called home on a mission to save his people from a mysterious threat. The entire land, and its citizens, have been . . . cutified! Now it’s up to Savage and our heroes to get to the bottom of things, before Barbarious Fantastica, and the rest of Apocalyptia, becomes permanently adorable!

Last Comics on Earth

The series

Full series details →

In a post-monster-apocalypse world where danger lurks behind every slime-covered corner and survival is just another part of the daily routine, creativity becomes its own form of heroism. Last Comics on Earth taps into that wild, offbeat energy with a style that feels equal parts comic book chaos and middle-grade mischief. Born from the wildly imaginative universe of The Last Kids on Earth, this spin-off series flips the perspective. Here, the focus shifts to Jack and his friends as they channel their monster-fighting adventures into hand-drawn comic stories—each more absurd, action-packed, and hilarious than the last.

Read full series description

The charm lies in how the storytelling mimics the frantic energy of kids with markers and too much free time, bringing over-the-top villains, improbable powers, and epic showdowns to life with a wonderfully self-aware tone. But under the laughter and mayhem, there’s a quieter thread—one that explores how storytelling helps these characters make sense of the chaos around them. It’s a layered approach that gives the books surprising heart, even when a giant tentacled villain is exploding across the page in green goo.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of monster-filled, apocalyptic adventure or just discovering this world for the first time, this series hits that rare sweet spot where comic-style storytelling meets emotional punch. With its mashup of humor, horror, and heroics, it doesn’t just entertain—it celebrates the act of creation itself. The result is a gleeful tribute to the power of friendship, imagination, and ridiculously oversized battle axes.
