Marianne and Adrian have distinguished themselves as a fighting duo in Paxtown, a shimmering metropolis a universe away from the Valley of the Kings. Team Velba, Richard, and Cristo Canyon all duke it out in the ring against friend and foe alike.

Meanwhile, desperation is on the rise in the Valley of Kings as its monarch frantically searches for the Velbas and Richard, who is now marked as a trophy thief and a kidnapper.

The Order is the 5th book in this exciting series.

About this title

About the Authors

BASTIEN VIVES was born in 1984 in Paris. He spent his childhood drawing with his brother. His studies focused on illustration and animation at the Ecole des Gobelins. After movie-making classes, he dived into comics, and his first title came out in 2007. And now LAST MAN comes out in the US! He was raised on Stallone, Spielberg, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Richard Corben, and Bill Watterson.… They inspired him to take up this life.

MICHAEL SANLAVILLE―TV was late in coming to his parent's house. Very quickly, anime heroes like Sangoku and Survivor Ken replaced White Fang and Little Nemo and the other characters haunting his mind. Later, Terminator, Rambo and MacLane followed and fed his passion for drawing. He decided to make a living at it. He graduated from the Emile Cohl school, and later the Gobelins, after which he followed twin careers in animation (at the Xilam studio) and in comics with Casterman publishers. Last Man, Sanlaville's novel with First Second, is an addictive series with a cliffhanger at the end of each volume that leaves readers panting for more.

BALAK (aka Yves Bigerel)―Graduated from the Gobelins school of Animation in 2006, Balak works as a storyboard artists, 2D animator and TV show director in France. He works with Marvel Comics on the new digital Infinite Comics brand, under his real name (Yves BIGEREL), as a storyboard artist (Avengers VS X-men with Mark Waid, Guardians of the Galaxy with Brian M. Bendis, Wolverine: Japan's Most Wanted with Jason Aaron and Jason Latour).
