The kids must face a mysterious new threat: Someone is stealing kids' schoolwork-margin doodles and turning them into an army of kooky living sketches! But what will the heroes do against the manic, illogical brilliance of living doodles?! While they fight, Boy Lightning's head and drawing arm are kidnapped by our new villain and taken into the wastelands beyond the borders of Apocalyptia!
Now our team must brave heretofore unseen worlds (Carnivorous Plant Apocalypse and Slime Apocalypse, to name a few) in order to infiltrate the Doodle Temple of Doom and save Jack from the machinations of DOODLEHEAD, a villain with a hand-drawn head who plans to siphon all of Jack’s superpowers and his life essence to make the doodle-creatures permanent and take over all of Apocalyptia!
The series
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.
