Stability at Risk in ONCE UPON A TIME AT THE END OF THE WORLD #8
Discover the Flaws of Paradise in the Epic Post-apocalyptic Series In August 2023
BOOM! Studios announced today a first look at ONCE UPON A TIME AT THE END OF THE WORLD #8, the next issue of the second story arc, THE RISE AND FALL OF GOLGONOOZA, from New York Times bestselling and Eisner and Harvey Award winning writer Jason Aaron (Thor, The Avengers, Southern Bastards), debuting the new artists for this arc, illustrator Leila del Duca (Wondergirl: Homecoming), colorist Tamra Bonvillain (Sins of the Black Flamingo), and letterer AndWorld Design (Something is Killing the Children). One of the most ambitious creator-owned series to date with three unique artistic teams to take on a vision of the end of the world that’s brutal and nostalgic, whimsical and grounded… and ultimately, timeless.
In the post-apocalypse, paradise can’t last for long! The cracks in Maceo and Mezzy’s oasis turn to chasms as their relationship stability (and that of the community) faces its first disasters. Will Golgonzola, and their relationship, survive the horrors of the wasteland?
ONCE UPON A TIME AT THE END OF THE WORLD #8 features main and variant cover art by highly acclaimed illustrator Kevin Wada (Specs), and variant cover art by famed artists Cory Godbey (Jim Henson’s The Storyteller: Sirens), and Becca Carey (Wild’s End).
