Three hundred years later a ruined, irradiated, post-apocalyptic Australia is a place where monsters are real and one girl, the last of an isolated and dying community in Melbourne’s south, launches on a desperate journey to find sanctuary and a mythical inland sea.

The book is largely visual storytelling, aided greatly by Breach’s slow-reveal plotting and careful scaffolding of survival narrative beats: there’s attention to minutiae and minor moments of world-sketching as well as more typical “comic book” moments. And those comic book moments when they land are pretty great: beasts filling frames, swimming across splash pages, ravaged vistas, and so on.

GREAT. Strong character designs, rock solid storytelling and a new world to be discovered.
