The Last Kids on Earth and the Destructor's Lair Hardcover – November 4, 2025 by Max Brallier, and Douglas Holgate
The highly anticipated 10th book in the #1 New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling series, with over ten million copies in print! Jack and Quint are trapped in the Monster Dimension! Their mission: prevent Rezzoch the Ancient, Destructor of Worlds, from reaching Earth and annihilating civilization. To do this, they must secure an audience with a creature more mysterious than any other. It's a race against time—and a race through the monster dimension! But before they can get back home to June and Dirk, Jack will find himself in a confrontation that will change everything. . .

As Bleeding Cool has mentioned before, print runs for graphic novels aimed at middle grade and young adult audiences, sold through bookstores, bookfairs and Amazon, outstrip those sold in the direct market of comic book stores, and it where American comic books are booming, outselling manga and superhero comic books. And it is here that the future of the comic book form can be found, both in content and in audience. And it is this audience that comic book publishers would be well served to target, whether by themselves or through established publishers like Scholastic.
