Reality vs. Fanfic—it all ends here!

Cassie and Bennett have made it into Mary Sue World at last where they come face-to-face with the original Mary Sue!

As they continue their search for Jessica so that Cassie can make amends for their argument, they realize just how special and meaningful fan communities truly are.

But with London still loose in the real world, Bennett faces an unexpected dilemma in this moving final issue: Her Mary Sue wants to stay put—so what does that mean for her?
