Novels and Comics of 2022" List IGN "Best Comic Book Series or

this series." --Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead, Invincible)

hope, devastatingly rendered in Tillie Walden's signature style. A
triumph of the zombie genre."--Shannon Watters (Lumberjanes) "With

craving more when the final page turns." --Chip Zdarsky (Daredevil,

sensibility to the Walking Dead universe, which is quite a feat on
its own. On top of that, it's an exquisitely drawn story about how
to survive trauma and find strength in ourselves and others."
