Creepy, intriguing, and left me wanting more. An interesting take on an apocalypse story.

Very interesting series. The end of the world if only a few were saved, how would you survive? With beautiful imagery and strong characters with depth, this series is definitely one I will be coming back to in the near future. 4 ⭐️

Different from what I expected... For the first 6 volumes, a lot was left unexplained, I still found the story compelling and want to keep reading but I found it slow. I also liked the art style less than other Tynion books I've read, my favorite panels were the ones with Walter. I liked the integration of past/present scenes. Story reminded me of Leave the World Behind/Knock at the Cabin esque.
Absolument pas ce à quoi je m'attendais. Je m'attendais à une histoire d'horreur assez basique. Et j'ai eu une histoire qui sort complètement des clous. Pas vraiment d'horreur... bien qu'un peu flippante. Une histoire d'amitiés longues et de fin du monde.
Une très bonne surprise. Je vais pas attendre le tome 2 en vf !

Of the current Tynion books (Department of Truth, Something is Killing the Children, Nice House on the Lake), this is probably my favorite. The other two are great, but this one grabbed me from the get-go and held my interest all the way through, where DoT has some clunky issues and SiKtC can be a tad underwhelming.
The concept here (a bunch of millennials accept their friend’s invitation to a lake house, only discover that the apocalypse has occurred back in the real world) is really effective and compelling. Of course, there’s much more to it than that, so much that we’re treated to a black box mystery that would make J.J. Abrahms jealous. I’m hoping these elements don’t fizzle out- Tynion seems to have a plan, which is good.
My complaint is the art which, while strong, sometimes is a bit too messy to tell the many characters apart. I imagine this was frustrating for readers who did the single issues There’s a cast diagram in the back of the trade which definitely made things easier.
