Vau, tää oli upea! Teksti ja kuvitus kulkivat käsi kädessä, toisiaan tukien. Välillä teksti kertoi jotain, mitä kuvitus ei, välillä toisin päin.
Stälenhag onnistui luomaan kiehtovan maailman novellin verran tekstiä sisältävässä tarinassa, ja huomasin uppotuneeni täysin sen salaisuuksiin.

This book was exactly what i was expecting from it. Morbid and mildly disturbing. The atmospheric world building is very immersive, especially because of the graphics with the text. And It will absorbs you right into the world as if you're experiencing a fever dream. It makes you think what would it feel like to exist in a dystopian future like that.
On top of that, the writing style matches the concept really really well. I didn't really expect a deeper story. I thought it'd just be a concept exploration. But the story is well built and we experience the world through the main character.
I did notice that this book has very similar themes to the My Chemical Romance album+comic "Danger Days". While i was reading this book i was compelled to go and listen to the whole album again!
I wonder if Danger Days was a part of inspiration for it or if themes of such sort are very common in Western graphic novels? 🤔
I hope one day it can be made into a indie sci fi movie. Would love to watch it.
