The art was excellent! And haunting. As anyone who has read The Road can imagine! My one wish is that it sprinkled in some of McCarthy's prose and not just the dialogue. I feel like the occasional evocative line could have added to the panels of landscapes and deteriorating infrastructure between scenes.

4 ⭐️ car remplit parfaitement toutes les cases de la bd post apocalyptique mais alors j’ai pas du tout passé un bon moment. Les cases sont si réalistes qu’elles en deviennent infernales à regarder j’ai peur 100% de faire des cauchemars arg c’était dur

It’s just not the best graphic novel. Especially if you haven’t read the book. I think I’d like the book instead

Just like Cormac McCarthy’s novel, this story hits me hard. As a father and the primary caretaker of a young son, nothing tears through my heartstrings like the story of a man doing whatever he can to keep his child alive and free from the evils in the world.
What’s so great about this graphic novel version is the attention to detail in both environmental and atmosphere. Seeing the malnourished figures so clearly. The black contrasting the white in a world so grey it might be hard to know who is a good or bad guy.
Like The Road novel, there’s so much said in not saying anything, and the full spread panels of silent images with no dialogue tell as rich a story as one written in McCarthy’s words. What a great yet harrowing work.

I loved that graphic novel adaptation!
I've been meaning to read the novel but honestly just couldn't stand the harrowing atmosphere. That was also very much present in this version but I was able to get through it.
Beautiful drawings and a great depiction of the story. Was very sad when the father couldn't go on with his son anymore, although I don't think I quite understood the ending.
