Ario Anindito & Pierluigi Cosolino did an amazing job on the covers. I also love the variant covers by Dan Mora and Ethan Young. The story opened up on this issue whilst the first was a great foundation, issue two delves deeper into Eve's mission and how the earth came to be as it currently is.
I really like that we get a back story to what happened and what caused the world to be what it is in this universe. And Wexler is an awesome side kick.
Oh, I thought this book was aimed at tweens, but nope!! I'd say at least 16+, preferably 18+. Zombies ruin a story, in my opinion, especially when we see all their guts everywhere, and begin attacking a child. I was hoping for a fun adventure in a post-apocalypse world, but we got the predictable virus that turned everyone into cannibals kind of story.
CW: -lang - Jeez, b*stard -really creepy, grey, emaciated humans with no pupils, zombie kind of people who start attacking her -an illustration of a body with his rib cage and internal organs all bursting out of him -references to cannibalism
this is a little better at giving some background and world building but it's just too short and it's not fair to the story that it barely gets a chance to find its legs.
This was an amazing graphic novel about humanity’s last hope taking the form of a pint size little girl who has spent her whole life training for one thing
Achei um pouco apressado entre uma issue e outra. Uns elementos que não estava esperando. A trama começa a se desenvolver [?]... Não é nada surpreendente, pode ser apenas mais um dos clichês pós-apocalípticos, mas vamos acompanhar e ver no que dá. Confesso que gosto do robô, porque claramente lembra o Teddy de A.I., justamente por ser um urso.
