“The Last Man on Earth” is something that’s touched upon in almost every iteration of popular culture. Arguably the best yarn that details this situation is Richard Matheson’s “I Am Legend.” Those that only know the work from trailers for the upcoming Will Smith movie are hereby pointed to the local bookshop and told not to come out without a copy.

Back? Good. IDW Publishing is releasing an adaptation of Matheson’s work (not necessarily the movie version — we all know how these things can be different) and from all points, this works.
The story is one human being left alive in a planet run by vampires. As the story progresses, the hero Robert Neville comes to understand that those he hunts by night are
victims, and that he has become somewhat of a bogeyman to them — after all, he’s the only one on Earth that can go out in daylight.

This comes out in November, and the TPB will cost $19.99.
