The Girl who Owned a City

The Graphic Novel

Amez

It was fine, I mean it has potential.. it was jus quite anticlimactic and boring.

Chris

This is a post-apocalyptic story after a virus killed all adults over 12. A young girl and her brother are trying to survive. 

I love the art style of this graphic novel. It's in color but very clean, with little text or dialogue. 

I am always looking for stories that show the strengths and benefits of cooperation, but this is not that story. Its message is more Lord of the Flies, stating how the privileged have no responsibility to those younger or less privileged than themselves. 

For fans of The Last of Us.
