What happens after The End? As social animals, humans can only be traveling loners for so long; we naturally form communities. These eighteen post-apocalyptic tales focus on the phoenix, not the ashes. After the death of a world, you start to consider the things that really matter: transportation woes; seeking family; personal freedom, social conventions; defining love and hope; and making the best of new worlds.

Times, they are a changin' -- especially in Cobalt City, home of the heroes. With a tradition of capes and cowls that dates back to before the town's founding, any time is a good time for adventure. History comes alive with a time-swept librarian knight, zap-gun wielding alien princess, a faceless spy-smashing vigilante, Norse gods, the young archer facing down steamwork ex-presidents, and a bitter heroine trying to recapture her youth. There has never been a better time to visit Cobalt City.
