Prepared for any and all end-of-world scenarios, the people of Safe Haven face an unexpected threat that their bunkers, weapons, and training can't save them from--their own children.

A Pre-apocalyptic Tale

Do you hate kids?

No?

Well, give this one a read and we'll talk again.

Apocalypse is near... The end is coming. A little town called Safe Haven (ha) is preparing for the apocalypse collecting resources and everything they need in bunkers while earthquakes all of the world keep happening every single day, thousands of them. 

Everyone is already stressed out and everything is going according to plan(?) for the little town to get ready before the big bang.. that is.. until the children of the town take matters into their own hands.

I Just finished the first volume and I'm left wanting for more, so I already had the second volume and I'm currently writing this review as fast as I can so I can go back to continue the series. It's REALLY interesting. I'm always guessing what's going to happen, but rarely I get what I'm thinking in front of my eyes. It's such a unique story, very intense, and such an easy and fun read without frustrating you or having to remember lots of stuff that are happening, so that's great.

It has some shocking moments, and some sad moments.. some WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NOW? moments and some DAMN THAT KID IS STUPID moments. You'll love it and most importantly hate a bunch of characters in it. I was kinda expecting to start cringing until the end of the world with what the kids choices would be or their voices inside, but Brisson is really doing a great work, there was no cringing or even a moment of getting me out of the story of what's happening, I'm really into the story and everything. Can't wait to see what happens next so that's all I'm going to say. 

Brisson's writing is solid and Christmas' artwork is so nice, with awesome expressions on every single character and the situations they get into.
 
GO READ IT. 

PS. And use condoms.

When the promised apocalypse does not arrive, the children of Safe Haven, who have already killed their parents to save resources, are forced to battle each other for what remains.

Sheltered Volume 2 Tp

I Thought that I would have lost interest by the time I finished the second volume, but nope. Story unravels and lots of progress is happening, more casualties and more hating on little brats. Also, the outside world gets involved with our little "Safe Haven" and the kids don't really like that. 

It all goes so fast, and I started reading Volume 3 already, kinda makes me want more even though it's the last volume. I would have settled if the beginning that everything happened in #1, could get a volume treatment on its own. But, what can you do. 

Here's hoping that at the end, the apocalypse that they've been waiting for will finally happen.. just to see reactions if not for anything else. 
Johnnie's artwork is really great. Caught myself just looking at his awesome scenery after reading a page more than once!
