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

Very very nice comic................. Very nice
Ends on a cliffhanger augh
Look at this art...... this use of color
Seven friends go on a vacation together and learn that (this is not really a spoiler because it's the premise) they were actually invited because the host is an alien whose species is destroying humanity and he thinks they deserved to be saved
It's actually quite funny that Walter's job was to find the best people on the planet and save them but unfortunately he decided to rescue his own personal friends instead
Most of the characters are a little slight but I'm such a sucker for minutely detailed analyses of interpersonal dynamics
And I love seeing Walter, this sad, bad, little man, as reflected through all the people he knows
And the flashbacks to how each of them met him & their realtionship to him! You have the high school scene, the college scene, the New York scene
It's almost a survey of one man's social life, through the people he most loves. Each character gets a little symbol with their profession/passion too which is quite fun
And this has one of my favorite characters in comics, Norah (the writer)!
She's so........... she's a bitter, depressed, chain-smoking trans woman who's Walter's oldest friend
They have this antagonistic/codependent relationship at one point that I'm obsessed with. She hates him. He needs her. She needs him to need her.
At one point she accuses him of resenting that she's trans, not because he's transphobic but because he can't stand that there's a part of her he did not know
Such a complicated dynamic
And at the end of the comic it's revealed that his marvelous plan to get the group to accept their situation was MASTERMINDED BY NORAH FROM THE START!! And she has to live with the fact that she collaborated with the guy who destroyed her world and he just smilingly explains that this was the first time he really truly trusted a human and it was great for him! He wishes he'd trusted more people earlier! I love/hate them so much
Also love that this is a very queer book! Walter's high school friends are all queer (he himself is bisexual) and that's part of what bonds them together at the start
Very fun comic
Walter is Such a softboy lmao like he's always crying on his friends' shoulders about how he's worried they'll hate him when the reason they would hate him is BECAUSE HIS PEOPLE ARE PLANNING TO DESTROY HUMANITY AND HE WILL NOT TRY TO STOP THEM

WOW precis när jag började misstänka att jag kanske helt enkelt inte gillade graphic novel. Den mixade median!!! Wowww. Skaparna hade lite väl högt förtroende för min förmåga att hålla I sär karaktärer men den va så heartfelt! Och spännande! Och obehaglig! Perfekt för min 3 timmar resa mellan valdermarsvik och Stockholm. Vill läsa fortsättningen NU.
