Beautiful, hypnotic storytelling. The kind only comics can do.

This felt a lot like a Twilight Zone episode and I was really unsure if I would like it until I got to the end and found myself really enjoying it.

An interesting thought: When we're alone, we all fight out own demons.

What the hell was that?

That was just so incredibly random and weird. It was interesting and I definitely felt compelled to keep turning those pages but seriously, what the hell?

The premise is pure sci-fi, everyone on Earth disappears except for our main characters, an albino in London, a depressed punk in Japan, and a Cop in LA. The Japan sequences are especially freaky and strange but all of it is pretty trippy.

I get the concept and the message the author was conveying but it still felt like it might have been trying a little too hard to be deep and intellectual. The artwork was bright and colorful and overall the book is very beautifully crafted, I just wish the story had given me more plot and less psychedelic philosophy.

Strong anti-rec here. Do not recommend. Does not do anything that the blurb on the back claims it does. Rather a lot of objectifying of women. Never explains why the Japanese guys gets monsters while the two English speakers get people to talk to. Never makes enough sense to have been worth the time keeping going. And the ending is weirdly trite.
