From comedian Paul Scheer (Adult Swim’s NTSF:SD:SUV::, THE LEAGUE) and writer Nick Giovannetti comes a sci-fi action comedy for fans of SHAUN OF THE DEAD and GALAXY QUEST!! Set in the not so distance future, a group of slacker delivery guys spend their days avoiding responsibility and playing video games. That is, until they have to deliver a package marked “classified” to a planet more dangerous than they’ve ever faced before. The rag-tag team of slackers, malcontents, and gamers have to put all their skills (or lack-thereof) to good use simply to stay alive.

The graphic novel adaptation of one of the most anticipated films of 2009 features the ragtag group of Dr. Cockroach, The Missing Link, the gelatinous B.O.B., and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus.
