    I Hate Mondays Part One last edited by pikahyper on 01/18/20 05:20AM View full history

    From critically acclaimed writer Joshua Hale Fialkov (I, Vampire) and superstar artists Bernard Chang and Marcelo Maiolo (Green Lantern Corps) comes a post-apocalyptic Conan the Barbarian as directed by Sam Raimi circa Army of Darkness.

    King just wants what anybody wants: not to get fired, eaten, or forced to mate with a cheetah lady. As Earth's sole human survivor after the apocalypse, life among Los Angeles' strange, new populace ain't easy. Working for the LA Department of Reclamation, King gets a lot of crappy jobs going on quests and searching for artifacts from the "old world," which can range from the mythical (Excalibur!) to the absurd (an iPod Shuffle). The work commute can be a real pain in the asphalt, the 405 freeway is filled with mutants, monsters, mayhem and tentacled Elder Gods. And that's all before you hit the horrors of the San Fernando Valley.

    As the world's freakish inhabitants battle for supremacy, King searches for the "seed of life," which may give Earth the second chance it probably doesn't even deserve.

    There are not many words that I can use to accurately describe the debut issue of King that would be doing it any reputable justice. It is the very definition of "crazy awesome", in that the setting, the characters, and the story itself are intrinsically designed to be as over-the-top as possible. At first I figured that this would put off some people who are looking for a more serious comic book to get into, something that, while not designed to make you think, could still evoke some interesti...
