And the fragile communities struggling to rebuild may not survive what comes next.For readers of The Walking Dead and The Last of Us, Book Two of Where We Stand Now deepens the world's heartbreak and humanity, proving that in a land shaped by loss, the most dangerous thing to underestimate is the wolf finally baring its fangs.This Special Edition features new cover art and exclusive author commentary—presenting the definitive version of the second chapter in Brandon Pawlicki’s apocalyptic epic.INSIDE THE COMMENTARY:Crafting a sequelExpanding the worldVallerie vs. the BastionThe costs of progressA look ahead at the series’ futureAnd more.
