Survival of the Goodest

In Survival of the Goodest (2024–present, Conundrum Press), a single-issue debut from cartoonist and writer Michael DeForge, the series explores a surreal, darkly comedic premise where a group of well-meaning but hapless creatures competes for the title of "goodest" in a bizarre, post-apocalyptic game show. Published by the acclaimed indie press Conundrum, the comic is notable for DeForge's distinctive, off-kilter visual style and his knack for blending absurdist humor with poignant social commentary. Though only one issue in, it already showcases the creator's signature ability to build strange, self-contained worlds that feel both whimsical and unsettling.
