Junior Braves of the Apocalypse #2

The cover of Junior Braves of the Apocalypse Book 2: Out of the Woods sets an immediately unsettling tone — a looming, pale blue monstrous figure hovers ominously behind two young scouts who look equal parts wary and determined, all rendered in Zach Lehner's striking blue-toned palette. Greg Smith and Michael Tanner's post-apocalyptic scouting adventure continues here, with kids-versus-end-of-the-world stakes that feel both thrilling and genuinely heartfelt. This 2018 hardcover from Oni Press is a great pick for readers who love their survival stories with a dose of scrappy youth courage.
