JAMES TYNION IV AND ALVARO MARTINEZ BUENO RETURN TO THE APOCALYPSE! The residents of the House on the Lake and the House by the Sea were both told the same thing: that they were the only humans who survived a global apocalypse. But while Walter, the mysterious and seemingly all-powerful alien master of the Lake House, chose to save the people he’d grown fond of, the Sea House was assembled by another of his species, Max–and she chose the most brilliant and competitive humans. They’ve just learned their only path to survival is to kill every one of the loveable losers in the Lake House…and they know exactly how do it. And what’s worse? Someone in the Lake House has agreed to help them… The Nice House saga has collected multiple Eisner Awards and the prestigious Best New Series prize at the Angouleme International Comics Festival, and now is the time to get on board as the action kicks into high gear and the horrors in its pages grow even more grotesque!
