Apocalypse Nerd #1
an issue of Apocalypse Nerd by Dark Horse
Issue description
Writer:
Peter Bagge
Imagine yourself in a post-apocalyptic world, when 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 of 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!
