A dystopian comic series about a virus epidemic. This is a five-part comic series; the first 4 comics are parallel stories that can be read in any order. This is the second I’ve read of the series.
I thoroughly enjoyed this one! I first saw Koridwen in the Jules comic and didn’t expect her comic to be so creative. This addition to the series introduces magic, witchcraft and time-travel which brings the series up to a whole new level.
This also has diverse characters including a disabled character (Max has a mental age regression, unspecified which), and
BPOC characters (Ibra, Youss, Kadi). I’m really enjoying this series and I can’t wait to read the next instalment. I recommend these comics to anyone who enjoys dystopian media. I’ll be buying physical copies as soon as they’re published in English in paperback.
