Wuh? Huh? The ending.... not gonna spoil it but I'll dimply say I was tremendously disappointed.

The art is gorgeous. No really, it's my favorite style and was a perfect match for the tone of the story. Zezelji's art is the love child of Maleev & Drucker and the story, until the end, reminded me of Ellis's Global Frequency and Wood's DMZ and that's all super fantastic... except I started getting a bit lost and felt the story was belabored and then, the awful and unsatisfying ending.

Oh well - perhaps you shall enjoy it more.

Bonus - if you read the single shots, at the end of each issue there are some great recommendations for books, music and poetry that pair well with the comic.

Reminds me a bit of Global Frequency with Maleev tossed in. Definitely a slowburn story development but I'm intrigued and hooked. Some nice use of cross page frames and the balance of dialogue overload and emptiness is excellent. Feels all too real.

Incoherent storyline. Couldn't finish because I didn't care enough to try.

"Maybe everything already arrived and we're just here freaking out and killing each other because the planet is heating up and we don't have a way to stop it and it's driving us insane."

Wow. This volume stopped me cold. So many well written lines, so much to think about and take to heart.

Bleak and all I feel is bleak after this.

This dystopia is a little too real...

“Dedicated to the lost, and those who will survive.”

A strange one this run has been but I’ll miss it

Love the line art, good balance of stylized and grounded. Gritty and moody. The story has me interested. Kot's writing can be inscrutable and self-important but I mostly like it.
