Nice House by the Sea (2024)

No one who was invited to the House knew Max--but she knew each and every one of them. Masters of their fields, titans of industry and knowledge, they all represented the best and brightest of humanity. So when Max whispered to each of them the truth of what they deserved--to be saved from disaster, to carry on the flame of civilization in a paradise built just for them--they all leaped at the chance. Why not? Why shouldn't they be the ones to live forever? Isn't it their destiny to survive the culling of the lesser herd? Wouldn't being named the future of humanity be...nice? With the Eisner Award-winning The Nice House on the Lake, honored as Best New Series by the prestigious Angouleme International Comics Festival, James Tynion IV and Alvaro Martinez Bueno shocked the comics industry and unleashed a classic of contemporary horror...and no matter what you might think is coming, you aren't ready for their second act!

Tensions inside the House are rising. Resentments are simmering to the surface. The residents need something to unite around. So an adorable dog is just the thing...right? They can all be trusted to love an innocent animal...right?

THE SECOND SEASON OF TYNION AND BUENO'S APOCOLYPTIC EPIC CONTINUES! Max expects just one thing from the exceptional people she gathered in the House by the Sea: that they follow the rules. There aren't many. They're very reasonable. This should not be a challenge. But Oliver didn't follow the rules. And now Max knows...

The impossible has happened--the House has been invaded from the outside. What does it mean that someone, anyone, out there still exists? And how far will the residents of the House go to protect themselves?

The overseer of the House by the Sea, the enigmatic Max, wants to meet with Walter so she can understand just what he's been up to at the House on the Lake. One small problem with that: Walter's dead, and the residents of the Lake House killed him...

The residents of the House by the Sea have figured out how to take full control over the form of their own bodies--but that's not all they've learned how to do with the power placed in their hands...

JAMES TYNION IV AND ALVARO MARTINEZ BUENO RETURN TO THE APOCALYPSE! The residents of the House on the Lake and the House by the Sea were both told the same thing: that they were the only humans who survived a global apocalypse. But while Walter, the mysterious and seemingly all-powerful alien master of the Lake House, chose to save the people he’d grown fond of, the Sea House was assembled by another of his species, Max--and she chose the most brilliant and competitive humans. They’ve just learned their only path to survival is to kill every one of the loveable losers in the Lake House...and they know exactly how do it. And what’s worse? Someone in the Lake House has agreed to help them... The Nice House saga has collected multiple Eisner Awards and the prestigious Best New Series prize at the Angouleme International Comics Festival, and now is the time to get on board as the action kicks into high gear and the horrors in its pages grow even more grotesque!

THE HOUSE, INVADED! The invasion of the Nice House on the Lake has begun! Shots have been fired, the walls have been breached...and for some reason, the stars have gone missing from the night sky…

A BETRAYAL SHAKES THE RESIDENTS OF THE HOUSE! Betrayed by the person who knows them all best, the residents of the Lake House must come to terms with the fact that their world might literally be coming to an end--and that the only one who can get them out of this is the one who got them into it in the first place...Walter. It's a shame they shot him in the head, then...

THE STARTLING RETURN OF WALTER! It's been years since Walter and Oliver said a single word to each other...and it's taken the literal end of the world to put them face-to-face again.

And can they do so fast enough to stop the body count from rising?

EVERYTHING YOU KNEW IS WRONG! Everything the residents of the Nice House believed has been turned upside down by a shocking revelation...could there still be a path forward for humanity? It's time for Walter to figure out whose side he's really on...
