I read this one without knowing anything about the synopsis. I noticed so far Lemire likes to use characters who are older in age and characters that don't fit in a cookie-cutter community, and they have a lot grit to them, stubborn though at times. This series is centered on the apocalypse; I zoomed through this volume #horror #scifi #graphicnovels

Why are people turning into trees? I have no idea, but it is a hell of a lot of fun following someone who is. Lots of violence and language, and a great first volume.

WOW, I did not expect to love this as much as I do. This is a fantastic graphic novel with a very unique set up. This volume is issues 1 to 4. I really wish it was longer. I need to read more and know what is going to happen. This is an ongoing series and I hope it continues for a long time. Why did this happen to Darcy and Meg? Will Loretta ever accept the truth?

I received a free copy from Edelweiss in exchange for my honest review.
