Modern life has never been easy for Rocko, Filburt, and Heffer. But it gets even harder when Rocko’s dog Spunky becomes an overnight internet sensation. Desperate times call for desperate measures and Rocko will do whatever it takes to win back his best bud’s affection, even if it means breaking the law or facing childhood bullies at his high school reunion.

In Rocko’s Modern Afterlife, in O-town’s dystopian future, everyone’s cell phone is glued to their hands, Heffer makes a living streaming video games online, and the latest app lets you avoid all contact with everyone else without even looking up from your gadget!

But even in the midst of this techno-utopia, there’s something not quite right with Rocko’s fellow citizens. While Rocko takes two weeks to chill and unplug from technology, the rest of the town seems to be going mad. When danger comes knocking at his door, the newly zen wallaby will have to choose whether to stay barricaded within his home or venture forth into a wasteland of mindless citizens.

Don’t miss out on the collected adventures of Rocko, Spunky, Heffer, and Filburt as writer Ryan Ferrier (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), artist Ian McGinty (Adventure Time, Welcome to Showside), Anthony Burch (Borderlands 2) and artist Mattia Di Meo (Regular Show) bring the Rocko’s Modern Life family back to life!

Collects Rocko’s Modern Life #1-8 and Rocko’s Modern Afterlife #1-4.
