A MASTERPIECE!!!!!
I can't believe how few likes/comments there are on Tapas; that's criminally shocking and unbelievable. Go read it, now!

¡El arte es increíble! Hermoso a la vista y llama mucho la atención, pero la historia es simple y me aburrió.
Por el magnífico trabajo de las ilustraciones es que no le bajo a menos de tres estrellas, fue hiptotizante.

While the story is adequate, the standout here is the artwork, which is spectacular. Some of the panels and covers are gorgeous.

This is a talking animal tale, featuring a colony of mice in a world where humans have disappeared. There are no clues as to how or why people have vanished, but it's something bad. As the story progresses we meet rats, cats, rabbits, wolves, ravens, hawks, beavers, squirrels, a snapping turtle and a moose, all struggling to survive in a world where food is scarce and the sun rarely shines.
This sits somewhere closer to the dark end of the scale between light-hearted adventure and grimdark, but Smith allows his main characters impossible escapes while not shying away from nature being red in tooth and claw. So he's walking a fine line here.
This is mostly set-up so far, with hints of a larger world and a nicely complex mix of groups, with crosses and double-crosses alike as critters work to survive.
I'm not really buying that these animals are starving, because they all look well fed and plump, and they're never shown eating anything. After 126 pages I would hope there had been some resolution to side stories, but this is clearly intended to be a longer work rather than a typical comic book's 20-22 pages. Less episodic and more novel-like.
I will say that he's lulled me in with his straightforward storytelling, because one twist I didn't see coming at all, mostly because I assumed there wouldn't be any twists. Probably unintentional, but it caught me looking the other way, so kudos on that.

Amazing artwork, nice, if slow-moving, storyline. Characters could be a bit more rounded out, but maybe that will still come. The artwork is truly impressive, and makes you come back for more.

Scurry nos cuenta la historia de una colonia de ratones que trata de sobrevivir en un mundo donde los humanos han desaparecido. Wix y su amigo Umf, una rata, son dos de los exploradores que buscan comida en las casas de los humanos mientras evitan caer en las garras de gatos como Titan, antiguo rival de Wix, y la gata Ork. Mientras tanto, en el refugio de la colonia se encuentran el anciano Orim y su inteligente hija Pict. Estos ven cómo las reservas de comida se agotan mientras se proponen varios planes de acción: esperar en la colonia, ir con Kessel a buscar un camión o ser parte del grupo de Resher que propone ir a ciudad. Todos los escenarios entrañan un peligro.
La historia que se presenta es sencilla pero está llena de posibilidades, ya que aún manteniendo el misterio de por qué no están los humanos se mantienen diferentes opciones para los ratones, cada una con problemas asociados y dudas morales. Los personajes se perfilan en este primer tomo y se sientan las bases de la historia para que se desarrolle en al menos dos tomos más. El apartado gráfico es simplemente impresionante.
