The Apocalypse will be televised! The world may be over, but Carl and Princess Donut have a motorcycle and a mission: Make it to the second floor. What could possibly stand in their way? For starters, a horde of goblins, homicidal fellow crawlers, a sadistic AI, and a meddling alien talk show host. Stick with Carl and Princess Donut as they battle to survive the latest season of Dungeon Crawler World! Matt Dinniman was consulted every step of the way in the creation of this graphic novel, featuring vibrant art by Laurel Pursuit that brings the action and humor to life. Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not. This volume collects episodes 14-30 of the WEBTOON edition! Praise for DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL (WEBTOON Graphic Novel) : \"...incredibly entertaining\" -- Screenrant \"...one of the most unique new stories on Webtoon\" -- Screenrant Dungeon Crawler Carl ranked #1 best new series on WEBTOON by Screenrant Praise for DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL (eBook/Print): “Fresh. Creative. Hilarious. I'm obsessed…Princess Donut is my queen.” – Actor, producer and New York Times bestselling author Felicia Day \"I don't always say nice things about a book just because the writer has compromising pictures of me engaging in some very complicated international crimes, but when I do, I say them about Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl! Also, this series has no goddamn business burying so much depth and emotion and complexity under its bawdy, gory surface, but it does so anyway. What a wild-ass and unexpected delight.\" – New York Times bestselling author Scott Lynch “[A] comically cosmic adventure series…often laugh-out-loud funny…Grind your way to dungeon mastery alongside Carl and Princess Donut.” – The Wall Street Journal \"This is the book for anyone who ever wondered what it would be like to be a role player in a game with the best game master ever. Also for anyone who wants to read a good book. Or maybe anyone who has been outside at night—in their underwear—looking for their cat and wondering 'What's the worst thing that could happen?' Once you start, you won't put it down.\" - Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mercy Thompson series “One of the most bananapants, funny, inventive books I have read in a while.\" - Book Riot \"If there's a better LitRPG than Dungeon Crawler Carl, I haven't read it.\" - Travis Deverell a.k.a. Shirtaloon, author of He Who Fights With Monsters “Dungeon Crawler Carl is just one big smile all the way through. Put on your best pair of boxer shorts and sit back for a truly fun and enjoyable read.”— New York Times bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson “ Dungeon Crawler Carl is the best start to a series I’ve read this year. I wish I’d tried it sooner.” – Will Wight, author of the Cradle series “To describe the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, and the first book in particular, one must blend the darkest, grittiest science
