From The Press Release
“Kirkman’s approach is surprisingly human and nuanced without all the over-the-top clichés that so frequently accompany these tales… Kirkman deftly handles the tropes that come with a story like this and subverts them just enough to make everything interesting while holding onto an emotionally resonant core.” —CBR
