This was on the freebie cart at work and I'm still drawn to graphic novels. It's interesting how often the trope that a virus attacks only people of a certain age (in this case, anyone over twelve) is used in this type of storytelling. The virus turns the people to dust. Boom! Everyone over the age of twelve is gone and the kids have to fend for themselves.
Lisa is smart and strategic in finding food for herself and her little brother Todd . . . but not smart enough to get him indoors with the loot she found before heading out again? With gangs roaming the streets looking to steal?
It was interesting but not something I want to keep on my shelf. I like how they used the abandoned school to set up a refuge for lots of kids.
