Despite nice art and a couple intriguing characters, I just could not buy into the ludicrous concept of an underground network using armed teenage girls to help plant and protect Typhoid Marys with a mortality vector in some weirdly isolated yet contemporary country of immortals.

Due to current events regarding police brutality and officer shootings, it was especially jarring to watch the police officers firing recklessly toward innocent civilians and each other without regard to collateral damage because they're immortal and then summarily executing the infected in the street because they are mortal.

Because of the immortality thing, there are multiple casual suicides and homicides, which may be upsetting for some readers. ( )
