The third issue of the 12-issue miniseres sees Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner guide the Last Boy on Earth through the next leg of his dangerous journey.

The new challenge will be set in the world of Jack Kirby's Kamandi, with 12 art teams and 12 writers pairing up to do a year-long project within the Kamandi map created by Kirby.

The series will celebrate Jack Kirby's hundredth birthday, which will be on August 28, 2017. Kirby himself only lived to be 76, but because of his importance to the comics community, his family's continued involvement in the industry, and the esteem in which he was (and his work remains) held by creators and publishing professionals alike, numerous people and organizations typically put on events to celebrate "The King."

After the stunning cliffhanger of the last issue, the red-hot team of writer Jimmy Palmiotti and artist Amanda Conner takes the wheel and steers us toward a wild new adventure. Now, Kamandi is embraced by the God Watchers as a holy messenger! Can he keep up this charade long enough to survive? Or will the truth lead to the end of the last boy on earth?

Prepare to take part in one of the greatest adventures from the infinite future of the DC Universe, and join the industry's top creative teams in a round-robin, no-holds-barred, storytelling extravaganza titled THE KAMANDI CHALLENGE!

Born from the mind of Jack "King" Kirby, the post apocalyptic Earth of Kamandi has been a fan favorite for decades, and now 14 intrepid teams of writers and artists build on this incredible foundation and take the title character on an epic quest to find his long-lost parents and travel to places seen and unseen in the DC Universe.

Each issue will end with an unimaginable cliffhanger, and it's up to the next creative team to resolve it before creating their own. It's a challenge worthy of "The King" himself!
