Alien meets A Quiet Place in this science fiction tale of terror for fans of Josh Malerman’s Bird Box and Tim Lebbon’s The Silence about a post-apocalyptic world in which monsters hunt the things that make us human – where feeling is a dangerous thing.
"I read this at a gasp, horrified by the bloody events as much as the too-familiar feel of a society self-destructing--even before the monsters come. A palpitating whirlwind of a start." -- Daniel Kraus (New York Times bestselling author of The Shape of Water, Trollhunters, The Teddies Saga, and Vault Comics' The Autumnal)
"As brilliant and incisive as ever, Peter Milligan questions what makes us human,and what motivates us to make the terrible decisions we inevitably make.”-- Kieron Gillen (Uncanny X-Men, Eternals; The Wicked + The Divine; Once & Future)
Guest Post
Doom Patrol - I picked up Doom Patrol in the early 2000s because The
Sandman trade paperbacks were always checked out from the library! I really
hadn’t read superhero books before then. Doom Patrol was so weird and strange
and full of esoteric magic, alchemy, gender and generally feeling at odds with
your body, and all sorts of weirdness. I’ve gone back and read it as an adult
and of course there’s things that are outdated now about it, but there’s
something very earnest about it too.
Shade the Changing Man- Another comic I read in the early 2000s thanks to
my local library. I remember it was psychedelic and strange in a similar way to
Doom Patrol. I re-read it while working on “I Walk With Monsters” because I
wanted to tap into the same sort of ways the art distorted reality using scale
or warping. I’m happy to say I enjoyed it as much at 30 as I did as a teenager,
and that it still blows my mind that I got to work on “Human Remains” with
Peter Milligan.
Love & Rockets - The public library had the first big coffee table
“Locas” book and I would take it out constantly to read. Before that I had read
some graphic novels and some Vertigo or Image series, and this was totally
different. Even though Love & Rockets was a huge story, it made drawing and
writing comics seem like something I could do too. I wanted to tell stories
like Love & Rockets, about punks and friends and love and heartbreak, with
the weirdness of the Vertigo stories I was reading at the time.
Yu-Gi-Oh - Before Shonen Jump was a thing in the US, I would sit in my
middle school computer classes and read scanslations of manga using the “fast”
internet there. You-Gi-Oh was one of the series I would read and I remember it
being really violent and weird, and also was my first exposure to TTRPGs as a concept.
Recently the creator Kazuki Takahashi passed away, so I decided to get myself a
Shonen Jump subscription and start reading it from the beginning again as an
adult. I’m enjoying re-visiting it with my artist brain turned on- there’s so
much to learn from Kazuki Takahashi’s dynamic art style.
