American Dreams

The Last of Us

Nineteen years ago, a parasitic fungal outbreak killed the majority of the world's population, forcing survivors into a handful of quarantine zones. Thirteen-year-old Ellie has grown up in this violent, postpandemic world, and her disrespect for the military authority running her boarding school earns her new enemies, a new friend in fellow rebel Riley, and her first trip into the outside world. * The official lead-in to the game from Faith Erin Hicks (The Adventures of Superhero Girl) and Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann!

Nice tie-in

Short and sweet, American Dreams is a good tie-in to The Last of Us and the Left Behind DLC. Use of colors is particularly great.

i love ellie williams! i read this because i watched the tv and needed more of ellie's story and this was perfect for that. i am so excited for the other volumes so that i can get more information that probably wasn't included in the show (especially since i haven't been able to play the games). i didn't love the art style but i loved this story so much it didn't matter.

I liked it!

Fun story to read, about Ellie, set before the game that tells us what she's doing and where she's going and how she got there. Amazing artwork that made me search for the artist and I'm definitely gonna get everything from Faith Erin Hicks. 

Now it's time to finally play the game. Better late than never!

It's too short. 
Learning more about Ellie's life before the events of the game is always a plus. However, the first issues are not so much attention-grabbers. They are too basic and without any substance on them. 

Issue #3 and especially #4 are the highlight of this volume. Action-packed and with meaningful events for Ellie. Who is Anna? Will we ever find out more about her? 

It's a must-read for The Last of Us fans but it's also a bit disappointing. Here's hoping someday we get a much bigger adaption.
