Breathers #2 – Justin Madson. Unable to breath the air outside (dust? Virus? Doesn’t matter). “Your rooms are all ventilated, right?”

I picked this up from my local comic shop without realizing it was the second in its run. I still liked this - the worldbuilding is interesting and the plot, though somewhat clichéd at times, was still intriguing enough to keep me reading. I'd be interested in reading the first in the series - I think I'd have more to say about "Breathers" if I'd actually read the first comic. So yeah, that one's on me!
