Posted on by

Dark Horse Direct and Naughty Dog are teaming up again to bring fans an exclusive The Last of Us – Joel with Brick Bust! Following the sold out The Last of Us – Ellie with Switchblade Bust, Joel is ready to take the spotlight to protect those closest to him. Sculpting, prototyping, and paint on this bust are provided by Substance Model Works. 

Clutching the ever-reliable brick, Joel stands battle-worn yet determined, clad in his signature green flannel and weathered backpack.

NYCC 2012 – Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Receives Dark Horse Comics Series!

Posted on by

One most anticipated video games of 2013, The Last of Us, comes to print with a comic series and an art book from Dark Horse Comics and Naughty Dog! The Last of Us: American Dreams will be a four-issue series by The Last of Us lead writer Neil Druckmann, with rising star Faith Erin Hicks as cowriter and artist.

Ellie, the heroine of The Last of Us, has grown up in a postpandemic world, shuttled between military orphanages in one of the last remaining quarantine zones and resigned to the fact that when she’s old enough, she’ll be channeled into the army or left to fend for herself—until she meets an older girl determined to find a third way out. American Dreams explores Ellie’s backstory and her first steps on the road that led her to her companion Joel.

The first issue of The Last of Us: American Dreams will appear in the spring of 2013.

The Art of The Last of Us, a deluxe hardcover exploring the characters, the infected humans, and the intricately realized world of the game, will launch in conjunction with the release of the game.
