When I began reading this graphic novel, I wasn't really a big fan of it. It seemed like a cliche middle grade story, but as I kept reading it, it seemed to have grown on me. I wouldn't recommend to anyone right away, but this was an enjoyable read.

I watched OSP’s trope talk ‘Small Mammal In a Big World’ and Red briefly discussed Scurry so I decided to buy it for myself.

It was pretty good, kind of reminded me of Erin Hunter’s ‘Survivors’ series (that I still need to finish😅) except it’s about dogs after an apocalypse (plus they don’t know human words for things lol). Also getting it for the art alone is so worth it. Mac Smith’s artwork is gorgeous!!

Craft - the art of fucking gorgeous and does a great job of capturing the characters as well as the world. The writing is very solid as well.

Characters - the rodents are fun. While a number of the characters fall into certain archetypes seeing those archetypes as cute little animals (or big scary ones) is pretty fun and interesting.

Conflict - the plot itself is standard but is underlaid by the fact that you are seeing this through the eyes of small animals who don’t have an understanding for what has happened we and what humans have done, which adds dramatic irony and tension which work well throughout the story 

Context - because if the dramatic irony the rules of the world become very interesting. I think my favorite part was the Possum’s story and the explanation of disaster from an animal’s eye, which really highlighted the spiritual aspect of this society which I found fascinating
