first graphic novel i’ve read in a hot min!! although it’s DC comics, there’s no “superhero’s”, instead it’s ab an E.T named Walter who invites a dozen of his closest friends to a luxury lake house. what they don’t know is that the world is ending, and they’ve been carefully chosen to represent the entire human race. the art is beautiful yet gory, and all the characters r personable. this graphic novel is 100% right up my alley !!

J’ai surkiffé franchement. Je savais que je n’allais pas être déçu avec James Tynion IV. L’histoire est super intéressante, le mystère aussi. Il y a tout un cast de persos mec queer et des persos racisés, et une meuf trans et sans que ce soit le gros truc de l’histoire (ça doit gérer la fin du monde en même temps). C’est vraiment interessantX surtout avec les différentes timeline. 

Après j’avoue que dans le passé on voit beaucoup Norah pré-transition et son dead-name aussi. Je pense c’est le truc qui m’a vraiment fait tiquer, le deadname n’était pas obligatoire quand on la voyait au passé
