Journalist Victor Lai and his comics publicist friend Dez Delaney have clawed, crawled, and occasionally golf-carted their way across a crowded post-apocalyptic convention floor in search of a way out. Along the way they've discovered a fledgling resistance movement of cosplaying superheroes led by Dez's former boss, Helvetica Caslon. She's got one last assignment: find the Special Guest and liberate the con. All that's in the way is a labyrinth of surreal panel rooms, literal personality cults, at least two warring fandom factions, and a totally biased gatekeeping system run by pedantic internet trolls. Can Dez and Victor convince the Special Guest to give up the utopia he's created? Or are the pros of this con on a crash course to doomsday?

He's worked in comics and animation and is the creator of Invader ZIM , a fact that haunts him to this day. Fred C. Stresing is a colorist, artist, writer, and letterer for a variety of comics.

He currently resides in Savannah, Georgia with his wife and 2 cats. He doesn't know how the cats got there, they are not his.
