Next Wednesday, November 22, writer Paul Cornell (Doctor Who), artist Marika Cresta (Doctor Aphra), and AHOY Comics will publish CON & ON #5, the fifth and final issue in the fantastic and funny satire of the comic book industry and its biggest conventions.
The five-part tragi-comedy follows a fictional but all-too-familiar ensemble cast of pros and fans down through the decades of America’s most colossal comic book convention: the Vista Al Mar Comics Festival on the California coast.
And Comic Book Yeti has your EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK at the issue's first 5 pages, courtesy of Ahoy Comics!

LAST ISSUE! The “profoundly well-observed waltz through the heart, soul and timeline of a comic convention” (Si Spurrier) concludes in the pandemic year 2022. Deja Drummond accepts a prestigious cartooning award and reflects on the often-painful path that brought her success, while her ex-friend Eddie finds a new level of self-awareness in the ashes of a spent comics career.
