What happens in Lastman Book Five?

An official synopsis for Lastman Book Five reads as follows: “After an explosion rocks the home base of the insurgent gang, The Red Eagles, not everyone from the Valley is making it back alive. Adrian, Richard, and their friends’ involvement with the troublesome gang leads to their arrest in Paxtown, where Richard once again must ask his ex-flame Tomie Katana — now the mayor — for help. Meanwhile, in the Valley, a mysterious guest from the depths of the Rift has arrived, and his secret motives and interest in Adrian may bring about the very ruin of the realm.”

“Lastman is one of those series that continues to inspire in its creativity,” said editor Amanda LaFranco. “Every time you think you know where this series is going, the team takes a new direction and expands this epic saga. As we now begin to head towards the series conclusion, Adrian and his friends will also need to prepare for things they never expected!”

Lastman Book Four goes on sale in March 2024, followed by Book Five in July.
