George is trying to live his life under the radar as much as possible. He wants to write the next great American novel, but many of life’s worries pile up and cause crippling writer’s block. For starters, he’s living in a trailer behind his parent’s house, he has a year left under their insurance, and he’s developed type 1 diabetes. While most adults don’t develop type 1 later in life, George’s diagnosis came with another development: impenetrable skin and near imperviousness to damage. One day, he crosses paths with a local super hero who desperately tries to convince George his fellow humans need him. Other than the normal fears for becoming entangled in superhero dealings, George worries about his blood sugar crashing or needing his glucose pen at an inopportune time. He also worries how superhero life will impact his ultimate goals of becoming a writer and paying off his mounting medical debt.

Maika is in a coma following the events of volume 7, and we enter a potential dream-state with consequences. As Maika deals with the reality of her mother’s death, she and her friends become sucked into the prison world of the Old Gods. Zinn and Maika’s rolls are reversed on this planet and Zinn is confronted with many of the beings he helped the Shaman-Empress banish. Maika’s spiritual self is lured by some of the beings here, particularly one called The Smith, who is harboring a coveted shard of the Shaman-Empress’ mask.
