Crowds descend upon Alba's "Oklahoma! meets Smallville" home after a TV prophet predicts that her tiny town will alone survive the apocalypse. Meanwhile, Alba struggles to figure out what to do after graduation and deals with the return of an old friend; working on her comics helps her process everything. Alba's tart, pop culture–savvy voice keeps this heartfelt story, illustrated with occasional comics-style art, fresh.
