It’s a new decade and a new comicon in the series that’s “affectionate, pin-sharp and wickedly funny” about fans and creators (Mike Carey). As the bubble threatens to burst on Eddie’s mainstream comics-writing stardom, Deja might be getting her first big break as an indie artist. Can changing fortunes revive their friendship? With bonus features, including a new chapter of the AHOY fifth anniversary prose serial.

Featuring Cover A by Peter Snejbjerg (CEREAL, Books of Magic) and incentive cover B by Daniel Schoeneck.
