Publisher Description
Readers who found themselves gripped by the apocalyptic adventure of ROBERT KIRKMAN's THE WALKING DEAD and who were moved by the emotion in CORMAC McCARTHY's The Road will not want to miss JARED MURALT's THE FALL.
After losing his wife, one father will have to face a world in freefall, shaken to its core by an economic, social, political, and health crisis without precedent. Facing seemingly unreal and very unexpected dangers, he will do whatever it takes to protect his loved ones in a country on the brink of collapse. In this internationally acclaimed series, JARED MURALT not only tells the story of one family struggling to survive, but also questions the very reasons that brought mankind to this apocalypse.

Beautiful atmospherics
Granted, this story remains safely in the well-trodden post-apocalyptic narrative. We have seen aspects of it in plenty of other comics (i.e. Walking Dead) as well as movies (i.e. Light of my Life, The Road, etc.)… and unfortunately, it does not bring much new to the Genre.
On the other hand, it is beautifully rendered, with special attention to light and shadow, timing perfectly the arc of the sun (dawn to dusk) through its shading and coloring. It is beautiful, and it almost feels like a high-end storyboard for a movie yet to be made. I also found it very timely and relevant to the recent Pandemic and Ukraine events. I rate it higher than I should because I have high expectations for the inevitable series that will follow.
