When humanity came face to face with insectoid aliens from outer space intent on taking over the earth, it never occurred to anyone that they would come out the other side of the battle that followed the losers. But they did.
Now, with what remains of the human race in tatters, a small band of misfits scraping a living in the remains of a city question what it means to be truly alive in a world where surviving asks everything of you, and hope is just a memory.
"Bablet draws the characters in a unique style with emotion practically dripping off the page." - Comics: The Gathering
"A quiet, melancholic look at survival after the end of the world, with breathtaking visuals and a superbly paced script" - Multiversity Comics
"An unusual and rewarding reading experience...reminiscent of Samuel Becketts play Endgame." - Kabooooom
"Pulled me in right from the start and felt genuine in its depiction of humanity post-apocalypse. Walking Dead fans should try this out!" - Adventures in Poor Taste
"Rich and dense and desolate." - Comic Bastards
"Apocalyptic comics dont get much more refreshing and exciting as this.4/5" - Nerdly
"Abeautiful aesthetic and an engaging atmosphere" - Comics Verse
"An urban nightmare, the richly detailed world Bablet has crafted is more a character than the figures themselves." - ICv2
