THE LAST SESSION: THE COMPLETE CAMPAIGN
Coming Soon in One Definitive Edition
Friendship, fallout, and the games we use to hold it all together—now collected in one complete edition.
Selected as one of YALSA’s Great Graphic Novels for Teens and a New York Public Library Best Book for Teens, Mad Cave Studios’ Maverick imprint brings THE LAST SESSION: THE COMPLETE CAMPAIGN, collecting both volumes of the celebrated YA graphic novel series!
Written by California-based writer Jasmine Walls (Vixen NYC), with art and a brand-new cover by Dozerdraws (Lumberjanes) and lettering by award-winning letterer Micah Myers, The Last Session: The Complete Campaign brings both volumes together in a single, cohesive edition. The series uses the framework of a tabletop campaign to explore identity, distance, and the ways friendships evolve.
It all kicks off with book one, where we meet Jay, Lana, Drew, Walter, and Shen. This tight-knit group of friends began playing Dice & Deathtraps in high school. Now dealing with college and all the twists and turns of their lives, their weekly game has been a wonderful constant. But, as college graduation looms and it feels like their lives are all moving down very different paths, Lana’s thrilled to finally complete the party’s unfinished original campaign. But when Jay’s partner Cassandra joins the game, Lana refuses to let her inexperience ruin the best part of her week! But in the end, that may be Lana and the party’s undoing
Then in book two, a new party is formed! Erika, Jacob, Marcelle and Damien have become popular online personas, each with a huge following on their corner of the internet. The only thing they have in common is that they used to be close friends until they drifted apart in high school, leaving their Dice & Deathtraps game unfinished. Now, four years later, their old game master Amina has reached out with a chance to reunite, save the community center that fostered their creativity, and finally finish their abandoned campaign. They have one night to do it, streaming to a live audience with tensions and old grudges on the rise. Can they mend their fraying friendship or will this last session cut their ties for good?
