The follow-up to the Tim-Burton-esque middle grade graphic novel that Max Brallier calls “Equal parts nightmarish and outrageously funny!" Milo and Sunny may have saved Shock City and its citizens from ruin, but that doesn't mean everything is peachy. As the town continues to deal with the aftermath of Darkness Von Shock's reign of terror, a new team of instigators arises: hotheaded brothers who Becky lovingly refers to as the Diaper Twins. They lead the town in blaming Sunny and her parents for all the issues Shock City still faces. Milo is enraged that the Diaper Twins have scapegoated the Von Shocks, but then Becky convinces Milo and Sunny to blow off some steam and play a few harmless pranks on the twins. Little do Milo and Sunny know Becky's setting her own plans in motion, plotting to bring back an old friend even more sinister than ol' Darkness Von Shock himself.

The first book of the #1 New York Times , Wall Street Journal , and USA Today bestselling apocalyptic adventure series, now in paperback with custom-designed sprayed edges! A Netflix Original series! "Terrifyingly fun! Delivers big thrills and even bigger laughs."--Jeff Kinney, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Diary of a Wimpy Kid Ever since the Monster Apocalypse hit town, thirteen-year-old Jack Sullivan has been holed up in his tree house, which he’s armed to the teeth with catapults and a moat, not to mention an endless supply of Oreos and Mountain Dew scavenged from abandoned stores. Apart from the hordes of zombies, Winged Wretches, and Vine-Thingies invading his once-quiet town of Wakefield, Jack is content to treat the apocalypse like one giant video game—achieving Feats of Apocalyptic Success, driving around in his new ride, Big Mama, and dodging evil monsters like the eerily intelligent Blarg, who just so happens to be on Jack’s trail. To take on this ferocious beast, Jack builds a team: his dorky best friend, Quint; reformed bully Dirk; Jack’s loyal pet monster, Rover; and the fiercest girl Jack knows, June. But Blarg isn’t the only threat they face in this new world, and there are brutal horrors around every turn. Can Jack and his friends take on the apocalypse and live to tell the tale? Told in a mixture of text and black-and-white illustration, this is the perfect series for any kid who's ever dreamed of starring in their own comic book or video game.
