Just as Maceo and Mezzy manage to find a touch of laughter and whimsy in the toxic hellscape they are traveling through, a gruesome encounter changes both of them forever.

Jason Aaron and Alexandre Tefenkgi’s fable of a bleak future continues in Maceo and Mezzy’s childhood years, with nothing but Mezzy’s guidebook and her skills as a wastelander to get them through their dangerous, post-apocalyptic journey. As time passes and they endure the horrors of plastic tornadoes and frozen sludge, Maceo proves to be more than just a burden, and they make a connection where none seemed possible at first. But to their unexpected peril, they might not be as alone as they thought…

The Apocalympics begin, but it isn’t fun and games–the Wasteland Rangers won’t let Maceo, a rival suitor for Mezzy, go without competing to the death!

Maceo is determined to prove himself the only way he knows how, and his stubbornness brings Mezzy’s ire. But the Wasteland Rangers prove too dangerous even for Mezzy, and Maceo will have to do more than a symbolic gesture if they want to make it out alive. Will love prevail… at least for a while?
- Once Upon a Time at the End of the World #11
From their initial meet cute in the wasteland to the paradise oasis they built in adulthood, everything in Maceo and Mezzy's story has led to this. Torn asunder by the events of the critically acclaimed Book Two, each faces old age and the unforgiving end of all things, isolated on a planet breathing its last breaths. But fate has other plans for these star-crossed lovers, and they will be reunited one last time... with nothing less than the fate of the entire world at stake. Iconic artist Nick Dragotta (East Of West, Ghost Cage) joins New York Times bestselling and Eisner and Harvey Award winning writer Jason Aaron to bring this epic post-apocalyptic love story to an unbelievable conclusion that no comic book reader can afford to miss.

A secluded suburban community is the last thing Maceo and Mezzy expected to find, especially one so well-preserved and packed with everything one would need to thrive in the wasteland. As more people come to reside in this settlement called Golgonooza, it flourishes, and becomes a home for Mezzy and Maceo, just as they become home to each other. However, the wasteland won’t feel satisfied with being shut out for long…

Mezzy and Maceo found the unimaginable–a secluded suburban community, well-preserved and filled with everything they’d need to survive until adulthood. As adults, however, the highest highs of romance and contentment are shadowed by dysfunction, just as their quaint community is surrounded by the ever-present horrors of the wasteland. How long can their little piece of paradise last?
- Once Upon a Time at the End of the World #9
What Maceo felt for Mezzy turns to terror as he doubts if he ever knew her in the first place, and even begins to fear the woman he once loved. The chasm between them grows–quite literally–as Golgonooza’s foundation crumbles and bubbles with a strange poison gas… and makes their communication even more alien as they’re presented with a tragic choice that should hurt more than it does…

In the final issue of THE RISE AND FALL OF GOLGONOOZA, Maceo and Mezzy inflict emotional damage on each other in ways even the wasteland couldn’t dream of, and the threads of their relationship continue to tear. The community is dissolving and breaking, just like Maceo’s machines, and he and Mezzy are poised to be the final remaining members. If it comes to that, can they salvage what’s there, or will they even want to cross the chasm between them?
- Once Upon a Time at the End of the World #13
The Ravagers, a group that Mezzy was once involved with who are hellbent on destroying the world, are primed to do just that, having been interested in Maceo’s machines. With Maceo determined to stop them from doing the unthinkable, will Mezzy be able to find him in time to save not just the one she once loved, but what’s left of the world?
- Once Upon a Time at the End of the World #12
Maceo and Mezzy’s paths cross yet again, after Maceo tracks her down seeking information on the ravagers. Finding her living with a small group of ragged and sickly survivors, Maceo discovers Mezzy’s shocking connection to the group and their world-ending machinations. As Maceo sets off to fight what might be his final battle… Mezzy is faced with the most important choice she will ever make.
- Once Upon a Time at the End of the World #15
As their showdown with the apocalypse-hungry Ravagers unfolds, even if Maceo and Mezzy do succeed, what will remain for them in such a desolate world after losing so many loved ones… and each other? While merely surviving alone is possible, the question will always remain–will they ever see each other again, or remain at a distance?
- Once Upon a Time at the End of the World #14
In the penultimate issue of the epic 3-book post-apocalyptic adventure, Maceo and Mezzy must journey back to Golgonooza in a race against the Ravagers. In the ruins of the wasteland as time is running out, the two must put aside their differences as they grieve past losses and fight for one last sliver of hope for the ruined world.
