The Long Con

The Long Con Synopsis

The world is over, but the con has just begun.

Five years ago, a cataclysmic event obliterated everything within a fifty mile radius of the Los Spinoza Convention Center-right in the middle of Long Con, the world's biggest (and longest) pop culture convention. Underdog reporter Victor Lai barely escaped with his life, but his nerdy friend Dez Delaney-publicist for an indie darling comics publisher-wasn't so lucky.

Now, Victor finds himself with the story of a lifetime-that the con-goers not only survived inside the center's cavernous Cold War-era halls... they kept the convention going.

It doesn't take long for Victor to get trapped inside, find Dez, and run afoul of a totalitarian sci-fi fandom ruled by a mysterious figure known as "the Special Guest." Breaking out is impossible, and resistance is futile-but maybe, just maybe, Dez and Victor can recruit some unexpected allies from the warring factions of fans, pros, and D-list celebrities that still roam the show floor... Collects issues #1-#5 of the Oni Press series THE LONG CON.
