pickFour days in the life of 11-year-old African American Kemi. Four days until an asteroid destroys the planet Earth. Science-minded Kemi wants to help her family feel less afraid… and ends up helping herself as well. Love it!

pickSorry; can‘t see to write a review through these tears. 😭😭😭 So incredibly beautiful and moving and hopeful. And that‘s all I‘m going to say about it. 💜
The stars remind me that we never really lose things or people we love; they are just closer or farther away.
pickSpending a week with a group of high school, college, & more recent fiends at an isolated house on a lake can‘t be a good idea, can it? Well, ten people are about to learn the answer to that question & what they discover will have you turning pages furiously as one twist after another switches everything up. An excellent story—Tynion writes horror better than just about everyone—with fantastic art & colors. Eisner Award winner indeed. Loved it.
pickI realized I never posted this for vol. 1 when I read it... hehe my bad ?
The opening, though, hooked me. The tense mystery surrounding the unknown narrator, as she starts with telling the reader, "it was the end of a late night in Brooklyn" leading into a past memory, a brief moment that seems like nothing but is a snippet of a larger picture.
Told across multiple POVs and across days, this volume just grazes the beginning of what's to come.
pickA massive asteroid strikes the moon moving it closer to Earth. The result is tidal waves, unprecedented volcanic activity, & massive loss of life. That's only in the first few weeks. Cargo & tanker ships are lost so gas for vehicles, oil to run furnaces, & food are all in short supply as humanity descends into lawlessness. Families stockpile what they can & protect it from all others. We follow Miranda, and her family as they try to survive.
