Once Upon a Time at the End of the World Vol. 2 (Paperback)

The star-crossed lovers of Maceo and Mezzy try… and fail to create their happily ever after at the end of the world!

In the post-apocalypse, paradise can’t last for long in… THE RISE AND FALL OF GOLGONOOZA! A secluded suburban community is the last thing Maceo and Mezzy expected to find, especially one so well-preserved and well-stocked. As more people come to reside in this settlement called Golgonooza, it flourishes, and becomes a home for Mezzy and Maceo, just as they become home to each other. However, the cracks in Maceo and Mezzy’s oasis turn to chasms as their relationship stability (and that of the community) faces its first disasters! What Maceo felt for Mezzy eventually turns to terror as he doubts if he ever knew her in the first place, and even begins to fear her. The chasm between them grows–quite literally–as Golgonooza’s foundation crumbles and bubbles with a strange poison gas… New York Times bestselling, Eisner and Harvey Award-winning writer Jason Aaron (Thor, Star Wars: Darth Vader) is joined by acclaimed artist Leila del Duca (Wonder Girl: Homecoming) in the second chapter of his ambitious post-apocalyptic original series! Collects Once Upon a Time at the End of the World #6-10.
