The Last of Us: American Dreams

Set in the same brutal, fungal-ravaged world as the acclaimed video game, The Last of Us: American Dreams is a four-issue prequel miniseries from Dark Horse. It explores the early days of the infection and the first meeting between the resourceful teenage Ellie and her fierce protector, Riley. Co-written by game director Neil Druckmann and comic writer Faith Erin Hicks, with Hicks providing the artwork, this series deepens the emotional foundation of the characters before their harrowing journey across a post-apocalyptic America. It's an essential companion piece for fans, offering a quieter, more intimate look at the bonds that form in the shadow of collapse.
