This opening salvo is pretty potent, and I'm excited to see where this story ends up going. I was worried about the COVID-19 similarities early on - the quarantine aspect of the whole thing, specifically - but there's something much more appealingly strange going on here that I really appreciate.
A Twilight Zone kind of turn happens near the end of this collection that has some pretty enticing implications, and makes me think this could be a kind of modern heir apparent to one of that series' strongest episodes (I won't say which because spoilers, but it's almost certainly the first one you're going to guess if you're reading this).

Ah c’était pas mal du tout. C’est intrigant, j’ai hâte de lire la suite. Entre énigmatique et fantastique, le récit questionne sur la fin de notre ère alors qu’un groupe de personne survit dans des conditions de confort extrêmes… malgré eux.

So far this has me hooked!
I'm glad I went in knowing nothing, so I won't say much. In general it's very intriguing and the weird horror vibes are strong.
Loses points because it was super hard to keep track of all the characters and it wasn't helped by the fact that they can be hard to tell apart in this more loose art style. There is a character map in the back which might have helped if I knew it was there before I finished the whole things. I also had issues following the correct panel order, so definitely some layout issues too. Don't get me wrong, I did love the art in general, but maybe more distinct character designs and more obvious panel orders could have helped.

Do you like your existential dread with a nice helping of body horror? Then this is your book.
This is my favorite kind of comic. Horrifying. Thoughtful. Horrifyingly thoughtful. Can't wait to read more.
