A thought-provoking and hilarious romp through time and space from debut creator, Tyrell Waiters, that explores what it means to be human in a world that feels like is becoming more confusing and frightening by the day.

On the edge of burnout, Vern decides to return to his family in the Sunshine State to start over. Starting a new dead-end job as a custodian at Quasarโ€”a local science facility with a shady motiveโ€”he shrugs on his uniform, grabs a mop and bucket, and trudges off to clean upโ€ฆ Black holes? Space-time anomalies? Galactic ooze?

Things arenโ€™t entirely what they seem at Quasar, and when Vern accidentally plugs in a mysterious machine and finds himself standing on the brink of the destruction of every planet in the Multiverse, he finds himself presented with the greatest question of all: what is the point?

Vern: Custodian of the Universe by Tyrell Waiters invites readers on a cosmic adventure, challenging perceptions of reality and existence itself.
