Gabriel was originally the [[LastOfHisKind only]] [[SuperSoldier Paladin]] of [[WorldWarWhatever WWXIII]] (which involved a conflict with UsefulNotes/{{Mars}}) to survive, and thus became the [[TitleDrop Last Man Standing]]. He returned home to [[AlternateUniverse Amerika]], loved and adored by the people and Armtech. He made the country into a virtual {{Utopia}} as he basically [[OneManArmy kicked all the criminal ass he could find]].

Admired and celebrated by most, Gabe’s world takes a sudden turn when he finds himself framed by the terrorist group Pandemonium, for a series of atrocious crimes he had no part in. For these alleged crimes, Gabriel is sent to the treacherous [[TheAlcatraz Level-9 Prison Facility]] and incarcerated with the very scum he helped put away.

After nine years of torture and agony, the once famed hero kills his captors and escapes the 9 levels of hell he has been condemned to. From here on forward, Gabriel embarks on a journey into the heart of darkness; the New Amerika, a world filled with colorful and deadly characters that will either help or try to eliminate him – neither of which attitude is always transparent. As the once invincible hero digs deep to unravel the true reason behind his framing, he also discovers a problem he never had to face before: He’s dying; and quickly.

[[caption-width-right:350:Gabriel doing his thing.]]

''Last Man Standing'' is a graphic novel series by Daniel Lu'Visi. The series, set 600 years in the future of an AlternateUniverse, concerns a covert operations SuperSoldier named [[TheHero Gabriel]], who was formerly employed by a paramilitary organization named [[MegaCorp Armtech]].

Gabriel was originally the [[LastOfHisKind only]] [[SuperSoldier Paladin]] of [[WorldWarWhatever WWXIII]] (which involved a conflict with mars) to survive, and thus became the [[TitleDrop Last Man Standing]]. He returned home to [[AlternateUniverse Amerika]], loved and adored by the people and Armtech. He made the country into a virtual {{Utopia}} as he basically [[OneManArmy kicked all the criminal ass he could find]].

Admired and celebrated by most, Gabe’s world takes a sudden turn when he finds himself framed by the terrorist group Pandemonium, for a series of atrocious crimes he had no part in. For these alleged crimes, Gabriel is sent to the treacherous [[TheAlcatraz Level-9 Prison Facility]] and incarcerated with the very scum he helped put away.

After nine years of torture and agony, the once famed hero kills his captors and escapes the 9 levels of hell he has been condemned to. From here on forward, Gabriel embarks on a journey into the heart of darkness; the New Amerika, a world filled with colorful and deadly characters that will either help or try to eliminate him – neither of which attitude is always transparent. As the once invincible hero digs deep to unravel the true reason behind his framing, he also discovers a problem he never had to face before: He’s dying; and quickly.

You can find out more at the author's sites, located [[http://danluvisiart.deviantart.com/?rnrd=2384 here]] and [[http://www.lms-killbook.com/ here]].

Not to be confused with the [[Film/LastManStanding1996 Bruce Willis film]], or the [[Series/LastManStanding2011 Tim Allen sitcom]]. Nor should it be confused with LastOfHisKind, where there literally is a last man standing.
