I have absurdly mixed feelings about the art on this. On the one hand, it sucks and is ugly and filled with bad proportions. But on the other hand, it doesn't suck? And is beautiful in its grittiness. And draws me in. And evokes a whole mood. As for the story, the initial part is pretty neat. A slow-burner zombie apocalypse story, focusing more on empathy and kindness than on slaughter (though it's implied that the government is doing some mass slaughtering). In this section, the enemy is moreso the government than the zombies, which I thought was a nice perspective. I felt a bit confused as to why the two of them went to the lighthouse, but I suppose it was because they felt cornered (even though they seemed to be far ahead of their pursuers). And then the events post-lighthouse felt like the author didn't really know how to take the story from point A to point B, so fe just made some shit up. My favorite moments were the moment when the man was pulled off the train and the moment of the finger-nom.
