The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The story is created by Neil Druckmann, the creative director of the original game, working with comics artist Faith Erin Hicks, so it's an official prequel that connects directly to the game's narrative.
- This is a used copy in good condition, so it's a physical book that's already been read before rather than new.
- The collection includes behind-the-scenes concept art and design sketches from the game, giving you extra material beyond just the four-issue story.
As of Aug 31, the The Last of Us is a good price at $16.99 — versus a $16.73 typical price and a $10.74 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
Its price this year
A fair price — but not a real “sale.”
Sale check Amazon shows “15% off,” measured against a $20 “list price” it doesn't charge. Its usual price is $17 — real discount ≈ 0%.
The phantom Amazon has left this $20 “list price” untouched for 13 months — while the item actually sold for about $17. It's a fixed anchor, not a price it charges.
