1st printing. Story and art by Luke Milton. The world has ended, you're the only human left in a village full of erratic, freshly-evolved animals, and a maniacal rabbit in a vest is gifting you a blood-covered toaster. They say they want to be friends, so why are you constantly being drugged and threatened by henchmen, kidnapped and insulted by the dog next door, and falling prey to a seemingly friendly duck who's running an unnecessarily complicated bread scam? The animals have taken over, and it's time to pay the price for drinking all that milk, eating all those eggs, and coveting an unquantifiable amount of chicken nuggets. And where the hell did your cat go? If you like watching Saturday morning cartoons under the influence, or prefer your animals double-crossing, you're sure to enjoy ANIMALS RULE THIS LAND!

Written by Nate Bitt. Art and cover by Joao Zod and Glass House Graphics.

Two best friends in a town taken over by video games have to outsmart digital dinosaurs in the first book in the Arcade World graphic novel chapter book series.

Life in Normal used to be, well, pretty normal. Kids went to school. Kids did their homework and chores after school. And then kids met up at the local arcade, called Arcade World. Arcade World was the weirdest, coolest place. It had a collection of video games that no one had ever heard of, like Dino Trouble or Hot Dog Time.

And no one held more high scores than Travis Better and Journey West. But one day, the video games in Arcade World came alive.

Now, there's a whole new normal in town-as Normal becomes a dangerous Arcade World.

Join Travis and Journey as they race dinosaurs to school, survive bottomless pit falls, and battle aliens to level up and solve mysteries like what's going on, who really owns Arcade World, and whether this video game takeover is a glitch or part of a larger, evil plan.
