I think sometimes the art style really works, and other times it's just quite off-putting. The core concept is great, but it feels like it's trying way too hard to be gritty and edgy.

Competent and interesting to look at, but aside from the central animal kid conceit, it's just a mess of unexamined apocalypse tropes, not much explored. Flows fine, fun to read, but I'm not sure there's any there there.
