In the aftermath of a catastrophic event that has wiped out much of the world, a small group of survivors finds themselves in a secluded suburban community known as Golgonooza. Maceo and Mezzy, two young lovers who have managed to survive the chaos, are among the newcomers to this settlement. At first, it seems like paradise, with a well-preserved and well-stocked community that provides a safe haven for those seeking refuge. However, as more people arrive at Golgonooza, tensions begin to rise, and the cracks in Maceo and Mezzy's relationship start to become more apparent.

Maceo, who initially felt a deep affection for Mezzy, begins to doubt his feelings for her. He questions whether he ever truly knew her or if he was just blinded by his desire for companionship. As the community's foundation begins to crumble and a strange poison gas bubbles up from the ground, Maceo's fears turn into paranoia, and he begins to fear Mezzy as well.

The chasm between Maceo and Mezzy grows wider and wider, and the once-happy couple finds themselves on opposite sides of a conflict that threatens to tear the community apart. Golgonooza becomes a place of chaos and violence, and Maceo and Mezzy are caught in the middle of it all.

Despite their struggles, Maceo and Mezzy are determined to find a way to save their relationship and their community. They work together to uncover the source of the poison gas and to find a way to neutralize it before it causes any further harm. In the end, they succeed in saving Golgonooza, and their relationship is stronger than ever before.

The Rise and Fall of Golgonooza is a powerful tale of love, survival, and the resilience of the human spirit. Jason Aaron's writing is masterful, and Leila del Duca's artwork is stunning. This series is a must-read for anyone who loves post-apocalyptic fiction and is interested in exploring the complexities of human relationships in a world that has been torn apart.
