The Nice House on the Lake Vol. 1 by James Tynion IV
3.0
A diverse group of characters lead this weird apocalyptic tale. Lots of questions and strange events are found throughout the story. Hopefully to be answered in Volume 2.
I wasn’t awed by the illustrations, it was kind of a boring palette of colours and I feel like there could’ve been a greater use of the natural surroundings to enhance the scenes (lake, forest, etc).
The amount of people was a lot to follow and try to understand. Despite getting some history on their connections to each other and Walter, they still feel very shallow and static. I didn’t really know any of them by the end of the book.
This has a fascinating premise though, so I’ll dive into the series and give the next book a chance as well.
