Broken Frontier

Apocalypse Nerd #1

By: Peter Bagge
Cover Artist: Peter Bagge

Imagine yourself in a post-apocalyptic world, where all the creature
comforts that you've spent an entire lifetime taking for granted were
suddenly gone for good. How do you see yourself reacting to such a
situation? Would you "suck it up" and be stoically content? Or would
you spend most of the time cursing your fate? We all like to picture
ourselves as the former, though the latter is probably a more accurate
portrayal - and that's exactly what our "hero" is like in Peter Bagge's
new miniseries.

MARVEL as our protagonist, an asthma ridden, myopic former middle
manager for a software company, has his limited survival skills
continually put to the test, only to continually come up short! THRILL
as his dumb childhood friend Jeff Beasley bullies him around, as he
abuses his new found status as the undisputed alpha-male of the two!
CRINGE as what's left of human civilization continually deteriorates
around them, and they along with it!

Each issue will also feature a back up story detailing poignant yet
humorous anecdotes about America's Founding Fathers. Finally, George
Washington and his gang will be starring in comics of their own!
