I agree with Tim. Maybe there is a deluge of post-apocalypta comics banding about. Is this running in the same vein as the Vampire-Kids on Lost Boys? When we finally do have Wide World War or a Nuclear Exodus, will we be able to use all these comics as a reference point on HOW-TO-SURVIVE? The artwork in the comic is cool, monotone with washes of black, grey and white - but it still retains a coolness to it. Especially when the white is used to proper effect and not just for the space between. It almost seems a shame that when setting up the tone of the story, a lot needs to be explained in the first few cells, much like every Bond villain feeling the need to tell James Bond their exact plan and the who's, whats and where's and how's to foil it. But I can live with that. “Cub Scout in a mosh pit”
