Last Pick

In Last Pick (2018–2020, First Second), writer and artist Jason Walz crafts a three-issue science fiction saga set in a near-future Earth where extraterrestrials have forcibly relocated much of humanity. The story centers on those left behind—the "last picks"—including a resourceful young protagonist with a hidden power that could turn the tide. Walz’s distinctive, expressive art and heartfelt character work elevate this compact series into a thoughtful exploration of resilience and resistance against overwhelming odds. It stands as a memorable, self-contained entry in the YA graphic novel landscape.
