Kim Carnby is truly such a GOAT-ed writer. like everything they write is soooo good.
anyway the art is 10/10, holds up really well after all these years
and the story is sooooo good. i’m a big fan of apocalyptic stories, since it just fun to imagine the end of the world. however this is one apocalypse that i would not ever want to be in. it’s such a wonderful exploration of the human experience and of human desires. the way each monster can reflect something different is so peak and the way that hyun’d desires change throughout the story reflects our fleeting emotions is sooooo good. also the way that the survivors act is so realistic, like yeah a lot of them pissed me off, but that’s likely how real people would act in this situation
also the tension that each chapter holds is a testament to its wonderful writing. you just want so badly for everyone to live
now a personal anecdote: this is actually my second time reading this. the first time i read this was when it first came out, in 2019. i was 12 at the time and wanted to not live. this story helped with that. hyun wanting so badly to live is one of the few things that stayed me, likely because i was going through something similar. i’m still alive, obviously, and my life is pretty good now. so i guess i have this story to thank for that.
