VIZ Media has announced the acquisition of the Homestruck web comic and plans for its print release beginning in April 2018.

Created by Andrew Hussie, Homestruck Book 1: Act 1 & Act 2 is rated ‘T+’ for Older Teens and will be published in April 2018. Future books in the series will be released by VIZ Media on a quarterly basis. Each volume will be a deluxe hardcover, full-color edition of roughly 400 pages in length and will feature new cover art and other exclusive content.

Digital editions of each volume will also be available through partner storefronts.

In Homestruck, on his 13^th birthday, John Egbert starts playing a mysterious videogame calledSburb. Unfortunately, this triggers the apocalypse. Fortunately, he and his friends can create the universe anew – if they can beat the game. But there’s another group of players trolling them to unknown ends, and a big bad who might be impossible to defeat. They’ll need a lot of teamwork, a little luck, and some inspired shenanigans along the way to make it through this mind-bending, genre-defying adventure.
