What makes it funny?

The apocalypse offers a contest to become Earth's Overgod, but Basil has more immediate priorities. His interest in talking with Plato cuts the grand struggle down to a cat owner's concerns.

Try this if…

Monster companions, dungeon battles, and defending a home base are central attractions. The game mechanics reward fighting and killing with levels, so the comic setup comes with lethal conflict.

Good to know

This is the first Apocalypse Tamer novel. Maxime J. Durand also writes as Void Herald.
