Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this graphic novel in exchange for an honest review.
The Cull is very interesting, a story of loss and togetherness, following a group of teens as they find an entrance to a world between worlds and a strange gestalt entity that exists there.
The first thing about The Cull I noticed was, of course, the art style. It was... odd. I'm no art expert, but the 3D digital style, especially of characters, was a little offputting, and a little happy valley at times, and reminded me of those CGI comics in newspapers twenty years ago... The story was interesting, and the way characters dealt with trauma, loss, and fear was wonderful.
Overall a mixed bag, I don't think I will be in a rush to read another volume...
