Picked this up because I’ve been enjoying the Netflix series it inspired. It’s quite different from the series, but I really enjoyed its originality and creativity. I’ve never read a graphic novel like this. It draws the reader in by talking directly to you the entire time. One character or another is carrying one side of a dialogue with the reader, and the artwork cleverly indicates what part you, the reader, have in the parts of the story where action is required. It’s a neat show more experience, and while the drawing didn’t wow me on an aesthetic level, it certainly pulled off a neat trick. Will look for more by this author/artist. show less

A quick and dirty Graphic Novel that pulls you into the action of a Zombie Apocalypse. The rare first person perspective and frame building raises gutted landscapes and dreary ruins around you as you encounter other survivors on your quest where the only goal is to avoid what seems to be certain death.

What a neat concept and I think it was done exceptionally well. You are a character in this graphic novel that takes palce after the zombie apocalypse. Characters in the book speak to you acknowledge you, and you are sent on tasks. Love the art style (although it belies the books dark nature.)

Somehow, a zombie apocalypse has taken place. We never find out how we got there, but it's there. The few humans who survive are all so unused to seeing actual people that they nearly off each other on sight.

Told in the more-or-less second person (it's kind of a first-person perspective, in which the reader is the first person), the reader/viewer/whatever follows a one-armed teen who has offered shelter and food. Mostly the kid has good instincts. Sometimes they're less good.

Very quick read, show more illustrations that are both creepy and cute, and nice to see a zombie apocalypse that isn't over-explained. Yay! show less
